Pattern change sign-on/off times, etc....

[Dan.Strassberg]

However, remember that AMs that operate from dual transmitter sites
have pattern-change times that can differ from those based on the
location of either site. The FCC calculates these manually to avoid
situations that would force these stations to go silent for 15-minute
periods near sunrise and/or sunset in some months as the result of
differences between the rounded sunrise times and/or sunset times at
the separate sites. At the moment, I don't think there are any
dual-site AMs near Boston. WBIX used to be one but its successor,
WQOM, no longer is.
