[BC] WJIB

[radiofldude@aol.com]

Bob is a VERY nice guy. Most down to earth, nice guy I've ever met. He's got opinions and views that do not match 80 percent of the people in this country, but thats what makes Bob unique.
 
he owns WJTO 730 bath, ME and WJIB 740 Cambridge, MA. He USED to own 1230 in Worcester, MA and 1250 in Manchester, NH but sold those off years ago.

Dana,
   How many stations does Bob own?  Jim Barcus told me he had two that
he knew of.  What little I know about Bob, he seems like a cool guy. I
would like to meet him sometime!

Yes, the station (both studios and transmitter) is still located there.
I was
there last week finishing the install of a Sine remote control. Bob
Bittner
still owns it. Bob is a great guy who I have known for many years. He
also
owns WJTO in Bath, Maine on 730.  The building is now a self storage
facility.

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.
