Re: [IRCA] Extra hour for Pre-Sunrise Aithorization?

I have wonderd about that too. Local 1440 for years has switched to non 
directional @ 6am year round except summer months but only @500 watts. 
At local sunrise is when they went up to 5kw. I do not understand that 
one! 73 de FTS in Woodbury, MN

That's very interesting because when I started my radio career as the 
all-night jock on WQAM-560 Miami (then a rocker) several centuries ago, 
we kicked up to our daytime 5kw at 4am (WQAM is 5000/1000 
non-directional). Thanks to that, we had quite a few listeners deep 
into the Caribbean. I may be wrong but I think the DA-2 stations such 
as WIOD-610 still had to wait until local sunrise to switch.
