WMVX (ex-WNSH) granted 50 kW-D

[Bob Nelson]

Yes; I have picked up WMVX in some spots of NH by day...but I do know
most of what they're counting on is the coast and salt water path. It
sounds impressive to sell spots by claiming 50 kW of course.

Could be. I have gone to Endicott Coll. when the station, then WNSH,
had their studios there and I did some fill-ins. I haven't been to
their antenna site but went to radio-locator and clicked on the GPS
co-ordinates. Using the satellite view feature of Google maps,
I saw the antenna site--and it seems to be in a very rocky area to the
right of an
Endicott baseball field.
