There seems to be another pirate in the Greater Lowell area. I think it has a spanish or indian format. I get it crystal clear in and around Billerica. I think it's a weekend pirate because the only time I heard it during the week was during the holidays. Anyone else hear this?

No but I note that a pirate down in Winter Haven FL (you remember--spring training home for the Sox
for many years) was shut down, seized, etc. No idea how many stations this happens to but...not many.

will stay on till June in analog w/ extension of deadline?)

Speaking of the Merrimack Valley--and pirates--I briefly went up to the NH seacoast today and noticed
a very slick sounding station at 89.3 calling itself Positive FM--ah, that's WMSJ, I recalled...and I heard
them say something about also being on in Haverhill
Sure enough, this Fybush column from a yr ago says that WMSJ has a translator @ 99.9 using the WCCM/WXRV
stick, though they're having trouble with interference from a pirate, La Voz de Fe, in Lawrence

>>translator W260AS (99.9 Lawrence) has signed on, relaying MAINE Christian contemporary station WMSJ (89.3 Freeport) - but its signal... is reportedly having some big problems reaching listeners in Lawrence itself, thanks to Spanish-language religious pirate "La Voz de Fe," which has been on the air for several years there, complete with a website that's more comprehensive than many licensed stations' sites.
