Nope, the WLLH pair survives - and indeed, there was some interesting 
paperwork a year or two ago when the station(s) were sold and the buyers 
tried to get the FCC to update its paperwork, since the current CDBS 
database didn't properly account for the synchro operation at Lawrence.

The use of "and" between the two cities of license is unique. If WLLH 
were licensed only to Lowell, then the ID of "Lowell-Lawrence" would be 
proper, since you can now put anything at all after the COL ("WXXI 
Rochester-Boston-Denver-Miami" would be a legal, if ridiculous, ID, for 
instance) - but that "and," properly used, means the station is indeed 
licensed in both communities.

There are plenty of other "experimental" synchros out there. WISO 1260 
Ponce PR has TWO synchros, in Mayaguez and Aguadilla, one of them 
operating at 5 kW.

The 730 and 1600 signals in the Dallas market have had synchro 
operations. I don't know if they still do.

I know there are others - just can't think of them off the top of my head.
