WMEX first went 50 kW directional, but daytime only, from the Quincy site
around 1969. It remained 5 kW at night from there.

1510 (by then WITS) went 50 kW full-time, but with three increasingly
restrictive directional patterns, (daytime, critical hours, and nighttime),
when it was moved to the then-new Waltham site off of Waverley Oaks Rd.
(Route 60) around 1981.
