 If it hasn't done so already, WXEX-AM (like the 1540 operations before it) can expect more interference from WDCD-AM in Albany, NY
 around sunrise and before sunset in days to come. This purchase of 92.1 was probably a goog idea, but when WNSH-AM 1570 was put on the market,
 it might have made sense for WXEX to buy that facility, move the transmitter to Exeter (maybe with a daytime power downgrade a little
 because the tower is smack dab (what's a dab; I know a little one will do ya) in a residential neighborhood, and 30K might be too much. 
 They might also have gotten 85 watts or so pre-sunrise post-sunset authority.
