WMEX lives

[A Joseph Ross]

I used to be able to listen to WMEX in Bedford, with good reception in 
the daytime, but night reception was sometimes hard.  A few years later, 
when I was in law school, I was driving home one night after dark and 
found that, on the car radio, WMEX reception was fine until I turned off 
the main road into the neighborhood where we lived.

Even with the 5kW WMEX had from Quincy, it very easily served cities/towns up and down the coast at night, including Boston. My parents used to listen to Jerry Williams and Steve Fredericks in coastal NH and Maine. Inland was another matter of course, but 5kW up and down the coast sounds like a more sustainable proposition than flea power at night covering Quincy and not much else.  I think WBIX has 3 not quite inline towers, whereas I think WMEX from Quincy only used two towers.
