as the sun sets in St John's, Newfoundland

[Dan.Strassberg]

I think so. CHSJ 25 kW-U DA-N, I believe. It had been on 1150 with (I
think) 10 kW DA-1 and would totally mess up daytime reception of the
Boston 1150 in Provincetown. I remember driving by the massive
guy-supported tower (plus a shorter tower) just east of St John's
during a trip to the Maritimes in the late 1970s. It wasn't long
afterward that CHSJ moved to 700.
