Re: [IRCA] What is going on with WVMC Mount Carmel IL?

And in nearly every case, the station will eventually lose the "D" and be back in the FCC's good graces.  I learned that the hard way when the Commission first started using "D"; I did mass deletions of stations in my NRC Log and ended up having to reinstate the vast majority of 'em.

The "D" goes in front of callsigns of stations that have had their licenses cancelled and callsigns deleted, but which have not yet been removed from the database. 
 
It's sort of an FCC form of purgatory: these are often stations that are still operating for one reason or another, but which have to work through some Commission paperwork (or pay overdue fines or somesuch) to get their licenses restored.
