Yes, I think it was 78 when they were granted to go up from 250 night to 
stay at a kW.  I remember an FCC tech I spoke with years ago who said 
that the legal ID was "WLLH Lowell _and_ Lawrence" or Lawrence _and_ 
Lowell. Either was fine.  The "and" was part of the ID.  The ID could 
have also been "WLLH Lowell WLLH Lawrence" but that would have been too 
silly.
