WMVX 1570..also..

[Mark Connelly]

Engineering report definitely mentions a city of license change to Methuen so operating from the WNNW 800 stick makes sense.  Pattern will be non-directional hence just diplexing with 800 into the one tower.  Moving to a site 15-20 miles inland will certainly take a lot of sizzle out of the signal heading south this way but since farther north is where the audience will be, I'm sure that blasting the North and South Shores + Cape doesn't matter.  As noted in my other message, signal here will go from about 6 mV/m to 0.6 mV/m, i.e. 20 log(0.6/6) = -20 dB.

Also, radio-locator lists the TX location for the CP as being in Beverly....do they really want to move to Andover?

 This would involve putting more "sticks" up, right...Since
 it's directional, how many would they need?  
 
 Does the WNNW site have enough land for that?

  I read via the National Radio Club about WMVX 1570
 changing
  transmitter sites sometime soon.
  
  
  Apparently this involves moving from the present site in
  Beverly, MA (Endicott College) to the WNNW 800 stick in
  Andover just NE of the I-93 / I-495 junction.
  
  
  The signal should drop some here on Cape Cod since it'll
 be
  going from about 95% water path to more like about
  75%.  How the signal will change around other parts of
  eastern MA will be interesting.
  
  
  I wonder when they move if they will actually power down
 at
  night.  At least some of the time now it would seem
  that they don't since deep into the evening they still
 often
  outgun the Montreal area co-channel station here.
