There have been some good comments already provided from various people 
to improve upon the original version that was posted on Facebook and on 
the Boston Radio Interest Group.  Any further comments / corrections / 
updates will, of course, be appreciated.

Hi, Mark --

Any chance you'll update your original summary with all the added 
detail or
modifications from the many folks who chimed in?  That would be an 
awesome
compilation -- and easier to file in my Boston radio nostalgia folder 
than a
dozen separate e-mails!

about the
JFK assassination 50 years ago, I thought I'd look back to that period 
in terms
of metro-Boston AM radio stations.  I was 14 at the time, a freshman at
Arlington High School and, as noted at 
"http://swling.com/blog/2013/11/listener-post-mark-connelly/",
was already seriously dug into radio and electronics from both the 
aspect as
entertainment medium and scientific hobby.

over and critique the listing below for accuracy.  I have not included 
stations
 from towns much beyond Route 128 so Lowell, Brockton, etc. aren't 
included.
