Ah, but the FCC does consider the location of the post office to be a
valid reference point for a station to determine the "center of its
community of license".

http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_01/47cfr73_01.html

73.1125 is the section on main studio location, which in turn refers to
73.208 to define where the aforementioned center is located.

Also, 73.1120 states that a stations are licensed to "the principal
community or other political subdivision" which they serve.  A post
office could very well be seen as a "political subdivision" of sorts,
in the sense that the government defines where the post offices go
and what areas they serve...
