As of earlier today, the Brockton Haitian pirate on 1620 was still up and
running.  Quite listenable 30+ miles away at my house.  Even detectable at
night along with the usual denizens of 1620.  It is very loud when I'm in
Brockton.  We have had conversations at WXBR about that pirate, as they sell
advertising time and are a defacto competitor(!).
