Actually, the extension of DST would help matters in afternoon  drive, 
especially for stations at the eastern edge of a time zone. I just  looked 
up the sunrise/sunset times for WNTK Newport NH, the most  northeasterly 
class D station that came to mind. November FCC sunset at  WNTK (North 
Latitude 43 21 52.0, West Longitude 72 10 47.0) is 4:30 EST.  Next year, Bob 
will get to stay on with his full day power until 5:30 PM  local time in 
November, which would be a plus.

The problem comes at  the other end of the day, and at the other end of the 
time zone. With DST  in effect into November, WNTK will be stuck at 37 watts 
until 7:45 in the  morning.

Think that's bad? Imagine being WMFN in Zeeland, Michigan  (North Latitude 
42 48 59.0, West Longitude 85 57 24.0), where you can't go  to day power 
until 8:30 AM EDT in November  2007!

Gentlemen,  Gentlemen
 
Lets face it------ it all is a matter of interference.  Let everyone  come on 
a 6 AM  and sign off a 6 PM every day.  Forget about PSA and  PSSA  You run 
daytime at 6 AM and Nightime at 6 PM..Local time......Forget  this sunset and 
advanced time etc......Kinda like IBOC.
