Public radio station WGBH-FM transmits 100 kilowatts of RF, both analog and digital, from this tower atop Great Blue Hill, which is just one kilometer south of the 80-meter start. Is that why a majority of the competitors heard nothing but noise in their receivers when they reached the end of the 80-meter start corridor? Fortunately, the interference subsided as they headed into the woods and got closer to the transmitters.
