Re: [IRCA] new station on 1100, WZFN

["Neil Kazaross" <neilkaz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe critical hours are from sunrise to 2 hours after and from 2 hours 
prior to sunset to sunset. The idea being to reduce interference to other 
stations during sunset and sunrise skip.

I too am surprised at the W call and wonder if the FN in said call means 
they will be sports (some kind of Fan slogan) 73 KAZ wondering if they still 
are testing.
