WTIC night signal

[Dan.Strassberg]

Remember too, that WTIC changes from ND to its night pattern not at
Hartford sunset but at Dallas TX (KRLD) sunset. There are a few other
ex-Class IBs in a similar situation: WCKY (Sacramento CA sunset) and
WQEW (Bakersfield CA sunset). KFAB siwtches off night pattern at
Charlotte NC sunrise. I suspect that there is some difference in
WTIC's skywave in western NY at Dallas sunset.
