WBUH H-only polarization

[Rob Landry]

As I understand it, the station had to be built in a hurry, with whatever 
equipment could be mustered. I'll bet that has a lot to do with it.

Two of WUMB's stations were built in trees for the same reason; the clock 
was ticking on the CP's and there wasn't time to get local approval for a 
tower.

In my experience, horizontal-only polarization correlates with a lot of 
multipath, but the problem isn't so bad in mono, which WBUR's programming 
mostly is.
