Today, if you are, say, 15 miles south-southwest of 100 Mt Wayte Ave, the signal you receive during the day is something like 3.2 mV/m. After the upgrade, if you are the same distance in the same direction from 750 Saw Mill Brook Pkwy, the signal will be just a little bit more than half--that is, about 1.8 mV/m. Because the signal strength is proportional to the square-root of the equivalent power, this is equivalent to a power reduction of a little less than 4:1. At night, it appears that the change will be smaller and in the opposite direction. The night signal to the south of the Newton site will be marginally better--equivalent to about twice the power of the current night signal due south of Framingham. But the night signal in that direction is really tiny now--equivalent to maybe 60W. It will be the equivalent of maybe 120W after the upgrade.
