Here's something that I've wondered about for a year or so:
how is it that WNSH-AM 1570 in Beverly, MA got the ok for a non-directional
output of 30,000 watts from local sunrise until local sunset, on a
frequency dotted with signals in the northeat, including one in nearby
Long Island, NY, and a litter farther away in the Finger Lakes region
of the same state...BUT WWZN-AM must broadcast with a somewhat tightened DA
pattern during critical hours, i.e. until two hours after local sunrise and
two hours before local sunset.  Now that there's something worth listening to on 
that station, maybe they should consider applying for full daytime pattern from
LS-to-LS.
