Re: WCCM and WNNW

It is legal for WNNW to be on the air with reduced power 
from local sunset until approximately Charlotte sunset. 
Charlotte is obviously far south of Salem NH but is also 
quite a bit west, I suspect that WNNW can sign off 1/2 
hour after local sunset in most months. I'm unsure, 
however, whether an early sign on at reduced power is 
permitted for class D stations within the 0.5 mV/m 50% 
skywave of a co-channel Class A and located to the east 
of the Class A. This is the case with WNNW. If the early 
sign-on is legal, it should still not occur before 6:00 
AM local time at the location of the Class D (that is 
6:00 AM standard or daylight-saving time--whichever is 
in effect).
