WCAP Off The Air

[Mark Watson]

WCAP has been off the air since sometime yesterday afternoon. I tuned in around 10:00 yesterday morning, the audio was very distorted. It also appeared they were not putting out the full 5KW signal. Just before 12 Noon I tuned in on the car radio just prior to the I-93/110 rotary (by Exit 46) in Methuen (9 or 10 miles from the TX site as the crow flies) and they were barely audible. Normally they should be loud and clear at that spot. Tuned in around 3:30, they were off the air, no carrier. Something major gone wrong at the TX site?
