Looking at online info, WRKO call themselves WRKO-680, and wikipedia states the transmitter is in Burlington. I think the two stations share programming, including news broadcasts. Again, not sure how it all ties together, but I do hear the 680 KHz station identifying as WRKO.</span></p></div><div><p class="ydp71e5ae16yiv7602725361MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;"> </span></p></div><div><p class="ydp71e5ae16yiv7602725361MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;">-Craig K1CWD</span></p></div><div><p class="ydp71e5ae16yiv7602725361MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;"> </span></p></div></div><div id="ydp71e5ae16yiv7602725361m_2527346888229966769ydp7a8a4671yahoo_quoted_6317616821"><div><div><p class="ydp71e5ae16yiv7602725361MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#26282A;">On Friday, February 10, 2023 at 07:19:58 PM EST, Christopher Lennon <<a shape="rect" href="mailto:kwaj.speedo@gmail.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">kwaj.speedo@gmail.com</a>> wrote: </span></p></div><div><p class="ydp71e5ae16yiv7602725361MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#26282A;"> </span></p></div><div><p class="ydp71e5ae16yiv7602725361MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#26282A;"> </span></p></div><div><div id="ydp71e5ae16yiv7602725361m_2527346888229966769ydp7a8a4671yiv4808604216"><div><div><p class="ydp71e5ae16yiv7602725361MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#26282A;">I live in Bedford.
