[IRCA] WAMG - 890
Interesting reception, David. This station has their studio in the same building where I work in Charlestown, the northernmost neighborhood of Boston. I believe their daytime towers are in Framingham, MA and their night-time towers are in Ashland, MA - both facilities about 20-25 miles southwest of Boston Dedham is strictly a city-of-license on paper. Perhaps they have a small office there for legal purposes. Anyway, a couple of points. 1.) They recently received a night-time power increase to 6kw. 2.) However, at night they have a severe null to the west to protect WLS. I suspect that, when you heard them at 2000 EDT, they were either on day power/pattern or running non-directional. They should have switched to night power/pattern at 1900 EDT.
