Everything written about this facility has pointed to a fair amount of haste top get the station on-the-air
STAT.  WBUR has invested in a transmitter, horizontal-suelement only antenna and rental of a tower, I assume for 
some period of time.  I suspect that the FCC will some day receive an application to upgrade the facility,
at least by adding a circularly-polarized antenna and maybe a top-mounted stick with greater altitude.
