That's a monster 250 watt signal. When the WJIB calls were on the FM 
its calls were WCAS (Watertown, Cambridge, Arlington, Somerville). 
Before Kaiser/Globe bought it the combination was WXHR (FM) and WTAO 
(AM) at Fresh Pond, Cambridge. I seem to remember it being inside or 
near the Cambridge Crystals monitoring company.

Long ago and far away I heard it on my car radio in Westfield, MA 
(100 miles) when WACE, 730, Chicopee, MA, went off the air. I worked 
for WACE. The ITA transmitter wasn't terribly reliable.
