WTIC loses CT sunset to TX sunset protection

[Mark Casey]

The referenced document does not say that WTIC has to go to night power at 
Hartford sunset but, that WTIC loses protection for the additional area 
covered by it's non-directional signal extended after Hartford's sunset 
until the Dallas sunset. The modification does not order WTIC to make any 
changes to its operation.

So, as a practical matter, WTIC may encounter some additional interference 
in its western (non-nightime groundwave) coverage areas between Hartford and 
Dallas sunset.

Subject: WTIC must switch to night pattern earlier


Has anyone noticed that WTIC Hartford has been ordered to switch to
their nighttime pattern at local sunset instead of Dallas sunset?  A
friend of mine pointed this out, and the document is at:

     <http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/
DA-08-2455A1.pdf>

This is because of action filed by two Michigan stations--WCAR Livonia
(1090) and WOAP Waverly (1080) that feel their signals are being
interfered with by WTIC's skywave signal between Hartford and Dallas
sunsets.
