I seriously doubt that they have a PSSA.  Also, given the way they beat up 
WBT here after sunset, I'd say they're continuing to run the full 5 kW, 
not a PSSA power that would be at most 500 W.

I once heard WUHN do a sign-off announcement in which they bitterly 
complained about having to shut down at night, and asked listeners to 
complain to their congress-critter.
