        The list shows non-DA day, four towers night. But I think I'm
having deja-brain cramp, because I think you once said that WNEZ used to be
a DA-2, but changed at some point to non-DA days, and that you even had a
bit more info. -- like why they changed, or how they could have done
without using the day pattern. Of course, I don't remember the specifics.
The day RMS is only 282, with a 90-degree tower, so maybe they have kept it
down on purpose?

        So, the Southington license was an entirely new station? Not a move
of the existing assignment or anything like that?
