Very odd propagation this morning. I will have my coffee and read the morning paper listening to classic rock/religious station WJMJ 88.9 (Hartford - 2,300 watts) about 20 miles north of me, very strong signal. This morning it is being completely over ridden by WERS-FM (4,000 watts) in Boston (about 100 air miles away) operated by Emerson College. First time for WERS here.
