WOON FM translator(s)

I just learned that WOON now runs an FM translator on 99.3, which has been on for about a year. Exactly how far does the signal go? I can't imagine it going that far, because of interference from both WPLM and WCRB. I also saw they even have a construction permit for another transmitter on 99.5. How is that supposed to work?

The 99.5 translator is now on. I will listen this afternoon and let you know how strong it is.

Here’s my update on the 95.5 translator for ON Radio.

I tuned in from work in Franklin off King Street. WCRB was coming in clearly.

As I continued on Washington Street, the ON Radio 95.5 translator was starting to fade in & out with WCRB. Right around Washington Street & Byron’s Way, the translator was listenable getting much stronger on Pulaski Blvd.

It remained strong through Woonsocket to Exit 1 on Route 146 N. Lost it completely by Exit 2 in Massachusetts heading NB on 146.

It's a CP to change frequency and increase power, not a second translator
