WERS-FM (Boston) 88.9 FM 1032 UTC 17 JUN 2024
« on: June 17, 2024, 1040 UTC »
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.

1032 ID to "Noise in the Forest" Ripe
1038 Several ID's, station 75th birthday announcement to "Back to Me" Grace Potter
1043 "Happy 6-1-7 Day from WERS Boston". (June 17 is 617, Boston's area code) to "Dial Drunk" Noah Kahn & Post Malone
