[BC] WBZ low power

[Warren Shulz]

The FCC data base has a fault when dealing with licensed AM auxiliary
towers.  Seems they don't exist.  I have a licensed auxiliary tower and
it's not something the data base was set to deal with.   It would only
show up on non-directional AM sites.

The tower at their studio is very short-I don't even think it's 1/4
wave.

Interestingly enough, it doesn't show up in the FCC database as even
existing.

I don't think skywave would be a problem with a distance of 30 miles!
Also,
WBZ is directional (to protect the ocean because there are no customers
there). This squeezes more power into the area North (where I am) and
South
than would be normal for a tiny 50 kilo-watter! I should be able to
light
bulbs in my basement from WBZ!
