Translators far away?

[Rob Landry]

If memory serves, translators for AM's can cover anywhere within a 25-mile 
radius.

Alex Langer has a CP for a translator for WZBR on (98.1? I forget); it 
will be built in Medford with a highly directional pattern pointing pretty 
much due east, and will havealmost no overlap with the AM, which is in 
Hyde Park and licensed to Dedham.
