Of course Bob you'll probably know this answer: Is that 2.2-watt 
authoriziation for a ND non-daytime operation? Would they be able to operate 
a DA at night if they ever were able to diplex from somewhere? This is a 
major imagination scenario, because I knew it would never happen, but I 
wonder why they couldn't share the towers of 1510 or 1600 (more likely 1600) 
even just at night since both are nearby in frequency and nearby in terms of 
distance from the 1550 site. (BTW, where exactly is WNTN located in Newton?)
