Right,
Grady great guy. Enjoyed making his acquaintance. He generously gave full tour of site including Ampliphase & new Nautel. If memory serves aright, one of the doghouses is where we tapped scanner into STL coax.
Hmmm...yes, the, er, uh, issue of leaked transformer coolant. Of course one can't be too sure about these things. On bright side, saves cost of mowing antenna field.
Late 80's - early 90's good at WALE. Then things changed. White left following 'Steve White has been shot on Westminster Mall' blowback. Blossoming rudeness from FCC and Providence PD, uneasy air settled over station. Ominous.
Your mention of two-hop STL prompts memory of Grady explaining despite STL transmitter height and Burrillville xmtr elevation, line of sight nonetheless obstructed.
So - that was The Steve White ex-WALE, WHJJ, and WKRI et al, whose obit appeared in Providence Journal 'Irish Sports Page' last year or so? Sad. Way too young at 61, though '84 ProJo writeup gave his age then as 47. Le Showbiz.
