WEEI Has a very weak signal at dawn and dusk in the Merrimack Valley and Southern NH. You can hear a distant oldies station
on the 850 am frequency. An FM signal up here would be welcomed.

I can tell you this that I live in Manchester and st sometimes you can not get a signal. WEEI said about 2 years ago that they are working on trying to get a signal up here but that has not happened and 107.7 the Pulse stinks up here and so I will listen to WBZ FM since WEEI does not care about its listeners.

I live in N.Chelmsford and EEI is terrible at night.

My Dad lives up in Kennebunkport, Maine right on the ocean and the signal comes in very strong…probably right up the coast. I’m in southern NH just west of Nashua, and WEEI is awful up here during the morning and afternoon. And forget it entirely at night.

Reception varies very much with vehicle radio and antenna quality as well as location. My experience is that the WEEI signal sucks in southern NH with any car. Some are worse than others. I look forward to an FM option.

In Marlborough, the EEI signal becomes measureably weaker during the evening. If it happens to be a Red Sox night on EEI, I’m better off picking off an FM affiliate like 103.7 or 104.9 to hear the games. While I don’t have strong radios at my home, forget about listening at home during the evening as well. I can listen to WFAN in New York better than I can hear the Boston sports stations at night. I do hope they add and FM frequency to to the Boston market.

I don’t have too much trouble with EEI in Waltham, but I actually get 890 and 1510 at least as easily, if not slightly easier at night (I must be the only one).
The AAF signal is pretty weak, they added the second station because it didn’t really reach Boston. I’m not sure how far out the new one reaches.

On the radio-info.com board there was also mention of Entercom buying Nassau, which owns 99.5.

Everything about the signal is a result of the FCC, pretty much. The direction and power are dictated by a desire not to have overlapping signals. Only a handful of stations (WBZ for one) have omnidirectional signals. Also, some stations have to power down at night because signals travel farther and there would be conflicts that would not be present in the day.

They’ll probably switch to WHAGGS 109.awesome FM
