Will Berlin High School Radio Go Dark?

When they absolutely hafta move, they'd take the station off the air and file for a Silent STA and just find a new site for the antenna.
 
I wish they'd take this station off the air. Who the heck at the FCC approved their move from 97.3 to 94.5 FM in the first place? They're next to WYBC-FM 94.3 of New Haven on the dial. With there only being 22 miles between the two transmitters, WYBC gets completely wiped out on most car stereos anywhere in the Kensington section of Berlin. Here in southern New Britain, I get a so-so signal of WERB, but it's not enough to wipe out WYBC.
 
Well, we obviously know why WERB had to move. My friend Michael Collins tells me that years ago he had something to do with getting 97.3A allocated to Litchfield and WERB would've been in WZBg's protected contour.

As a Class D, WERB is afforded no protection whatsoever and must accept whatever it gets. WYBC is a Class A and i believe their protected contour is only to like the 60dbu, which is less then 22 miles.

While the required spacing between 2 class A's on the same frequnecy is 62 miles, nots not the same between a Class A and a Class D.
