[BC] CALLING ALL AM DAYTIMERS

[Bailey, Scott]

Paul,
  Did this so called "Football STA" really exist?  I asked my
communications attorney in Washington about this STA, and he told me
there was never any such deal the commission did for daytimers. I
couldn't find any archived info on it on the FCC Website.

Sounds like the famous High School Nite authorization STA to me.  Many
stations do that.  Caused inadvertant transmitter operation after
sundown,
daytime power/pattern at nite.  DXers all over the country listen on
Friday
nites to bag new stations this way....

What did the FCC say about this?
