I don't get the AM signal, I get the signal from Spacecom (I think--anyway
S3) transponder 3 on an audio subcarrier which WROL uses to transmit its
signal to its other affiliates in Worcester and Springfield.  If you get a
dish (not those pizza jobs) you would get it loud and clear as well
anywhere in the continental US and southern Canada.
