Baseball radio in the Northeast

[Kevin Vahey]

Actually in 1996 they were on 1150 all summer as 850 was at low power for some reason

Do you mean 99.1 rather than 99.5? The Sox were on 99.1 and 1390 in 
what? the '70s? And you've left out a few, such as 1330 (for night 
games only) when the construction of the State St South office complex 
in Quincy decimated 1510's already putrid night signal in the western 
suburbs (both inside and outside of 128; 1330 helped mostly inside). I 
also believe that, at one time, the Sox were on 107.9 for night games 
when 107.9 was WWEL-FM and probably before the transmitter moved to 
the Pru. If that's correct, 107.9 had much less than a full-market 
signal; the HAAT from the top of the 1430 tower at 99 Rever Beach 
Parkway must have been about 100'. Surprisingly, I don't think the Sox 
were ever on 1150.
