WAAF Apparently Transmitting From Paxton, Not WUNI-DT Tower

[Laurence Glavin]

There was a posting at the Radio-info.com Boston Board that WAAF-FM 107.3 has been transmitting
 from its "auxiliary" site in Paxton, Ma (its longtime transmitter site when licensed to Worcester
 rather than to Westboro, as is currently the case). My primary FM receiver has an attached indoor
 antenna that I can adjust for various stations when necessary. (I can diminish reception of NHPR's
 outlet in Nashua at 88.3 to improve my reception of WFCR-FM 88.5 transmitting from Pelham, MA).
 My receiver shows relative signal strength with 12 vertical bars (yes "12 steps") and ever since
 the move to the weaker directional antenna on the WUNI-DT tower, it seems that WAAF has been lucky
 to reach a '9'. This morning (Monday, 04/11) it went all the way to about '10'; its neighbor an Asnebumskit
 Hill, WSRS-FM 96.1, about '11'. Sometimes however, in the spring with warm, humid air and weather fronts
 all over the place, FM signals seem to get a boost. Some people posting to Radio-info.com from areas
 well west of Boston report the same reception of WAAF they got before the switch. I suspect very
 strongly that WAAF is in fact broadcasting from Paxton right now.
