Those 5 watts do amazingly well, thanks to a well-situated tower site and some good engineering. When I lived in Waltham, 10 miles or so west of the WJIB site, WJIB's 5 watts routinely covered up then-CBL's 50 kW most nights. I'd guess Bob reaches close to half a million people with his night signal, which has got to be one of the better power-to-listeners ratios out there! s _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
