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!
