That would be a heck of a catch!  However, the signal strength was nearly
equal at times to the not-very-distant 50kw in Montreal.  I don't think even
a 1kw could whomp up enough field strength here in Providence from Arizona.
One could hope, but..

Addresses can be deceiving.  For example, here in Providence the studios for
my client WCTK/WLKW/WNBH is 75 Oxford St.  If you check the CC stations
WHJJ/WHJY/WSNE/WWBB you'll see the same 75 Oxford St.  Different owners who
happen to be in the same building.  Both rent from a manufacturing company
that owns the building.

There is some other entity that calls itself Gospel 93.7 and may not be
associated with a radio station any more.  I simply didn't dig much further.

Thanks for sharing the work!
