Yup, by 2:25am Monday morning, “Big City 101.3” was no where
to be heard at the South Station postal facility (or—later
confirmed—anywheres up on the North Shore)...just Bob B.ʼs W267CE
(w/Milfordʼs W267CD mixing in, up on the North Shore)!
Back in March, I got the Sangean DT-160 AM/FM Pocket Radio, with
good sensitivity, excellent (even adjacent channel) selectivity
and SUPERB(!!!) image overload rejection:  While all of the other
radios at South Station were “image wastelands” on FM due to the
Pruʼs FM stick, the DT-160 had absolutely NO imaging whatsoever
(even in the all-window cafeteria facing the Pru) except, maybe,
very, very, VERY slight (and I mean to the point of not really
being able to distinguish from the background noise floor!)
“image hash” at the very bottom of the dial (87-89 MHz), as well
as maybe an extremely weak image at .2 MHz above (and below?)
the Pru signals (e.g., 100.7➜100.9)—though easily overtaken by
the slightest bona fide on channel signal!....The biggest gripe
I have with the DT-160 is its about .6-.9 sec. frequency change
silence!
What this means is—besides getting the Cape, RI, Worcester and
SEʼrn NH to varying strength as regulars (as well as any tropo
from ME to CT to LI/NYC {have already logged CT-95.7 and LI-97.5
a couple of times} and probably even further)—all of the (even
Pru adjacent channel) Boston area pirates are receivable at
South Station!

(I was off last night, and the night before I didnʼt hear
anything on 100.5, but I will most certainly check tonight)
