Variation on Call Letter Format

[Laurence Glavin]

This is a variation or emendation of the thread on call-letter
formats;
I haven't picked up a "low power" FM yet (one is supposed
to go on-the-air in Londonderry, NH soon which I may
be able to hear at home), but I understand they use
the suffix "-LP".  This is a bit strange because there 
are several class D's or former class D's using less than
100 watts that may call themselves "-FM".  So you could
have a college town where the local school may run at 
25 watts and call itself W***-FM, plus a low-power FM
with 100 watts that calls intself W***-LP.  And
what about translators?  There's one on Mt. Uncanoonuc
outside Manchester, NH at 90.7 with only 12 watts ERP.
I've never heard it give a station ID, but would such an outlet
usually give an "-FM" suffix if it chose?
And how anal is THIS?
