Phil, looks as if you too have gotten caught in this semantic trap. What you
should have written is "but their nighttime power MUST BE LESS THAN 250W."

As I pointed out in an earlier posting, the difference between "cannot
exceed" and "must be less than" probably results in erroneously classifying
as many as 100 Class B and C AMs as Class Ds--in contradiction to their
official classifications. "Cannot exceed" classifies as Ds stations whose
authorized night power is exactly 250W, but the FCC classifies all or nearly
all such stations as Bs or Cs.
