Either that number is missing a zero, or Bob got a fantastic deal.
Even if it needs major rebuilding, with 1 kW non-directional on 900 kHz
along the coast, it ought to have a solid daytime signal.  However, WWBK's
66 watts at night will again suffer the wrath of S-meter-pegging Canadian
skywave from 900 CHML, just as Bob's 740 WJIB in Boston gets hammered by
CHWO at night.

It'll be interesting to see if Bob will be selling 730 WJTO in Bath, ME
once he gets WWBK up and running, since both stations have roughly the
same daytime coverage, and WWBK has at least some nighttime coverage while
WJTO is strictly a daytimer.
