I remember driving from Waltham to Lawrence one night in the mid-1990s 
(let's say 1993 or maybe 1994) to visit a friend who was working at WCCM 
800 there. Their night power was so anemic that I was hearing PJB on the 
car radio even as I was parking my car in front of the WCCM studios.

A few years later, I had the opportunity to tour TWR while on my 
honeymoon on Bonaire. The facility has gone through several 
modifications since then, including a complete rebuild of the antenna 
array and the replacement of the Brown-Boveri 500 kW transmitter it was 
then using.
