500 Megawatts, huh? I don't care what band they are on, 500 MW would
reach a lot further than Fitchburg, Leominster, Lancaster, Shirley,
Clinton and parts of Townsend--even if nobody there has a radio that
is designed to pick it up. Never mind picking it up on your fillings,
I suspect that there could be cases of _people_ actually glowing--that
is, until the money to keep the transmitter on the air ran out. How
many hours would THAT take?

If we get past the errors and hyperbole, is this supposed to be the
non-comm Godcaster whose application was considered mutually
exclusive with WAVM's but was eventually granted a CP for a highly
directional low-power station licensed to (I think) Lunenburg on (I
think) 91.7?
