[BC] Day/night separated sites

[Dennis Blais]

Grady,

Thanks for the memories!.  I grew up in the Boston area in the 50's and
early 60's.  All that we kids listened to was WMEX on our little 9v
transistors.  It was one of the best top 40 stations going, or at least
that's how I remember it.

    When I moved to Boston in 1980 to help move the
1510 from Quincy (the old WMEX site, in a tidal marsh)
to Waltham (to get 50kW full-time, instead or 5kW at
night out to sea), the second floor of the Quincy
transmitter building had a large, semi-round room
with a high ceiling and a depressed center area,
that MUST have been a Playboy-style 'action pit'.
The view of the from there was quite stunning,
including some of Boston Harbor and the Boston
skyline.
