Everyone keeps saying WPTR/WDCD is off the air, I drove through Albany in 
April and Western Mass in May and though sounding horrible weak and grungy 
it certainly was on the air.

I was in Albany last weekend and WDCD was off the air. IIRC didn't they file 
a notice with the FCC to temporarily go silent while they try to find a new 
format? Agreed it's sad to see a 50,000 watt blowtorch go dark but 
apparently WDCD's owners (Crawford I believe) must be losing money with 1540 
if they made the decision to take it dark.

Also on my way home Sunday, on I-90 just east of Albany I faintly heard WXEX 
(Exeter NH) on 1540.
