Re: [IRCA] Far North Daytime Only AMs

["Paul B. Walker, Jr." <walkerbroadcasting@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just because KYAK signed off at 11pm, doesnt make it a daytimer. Most
daytimers who have flea power sign off at sunset. However, that being said,
some stations dont stay on all night even if they could..... so KYAk signing
off at 11pm is no indication that it was actually a daytimer.

KIAM 630 Nenana powers down from 10KW to 3.1KW, KNOM 780 Nome powers down
from 25KW to 14KW, KINY 800 powers down from 10KW to 7.6KW, KTKN 930
Ketchikan powers down from 5KW to 1KW  andKXLJ 1330 Juneau powers down from
10KW to 3KW
