[BC] AM Daytimers Leaving The Carrier On

[Tom Dimeo]

I talked to the owner of WWII 720 AM a couple of times before 
he died about the personnel not turning off the transmitter 
when the station signed off. He knew it was happening and he 
also knew it is illegal. He talked to the person about how to 
turn the transmitter off but the person apparently didn't get 
it. Maybe it is a different person now but whoever it is they 
don't get it either.

Dave makes a good point too that the station would have to 
identify once an hour. However, if the station has the 
carrier on illegally guess it doesn't matter if they identify 
or not.

I wonder why WWII 720 is allowed to come on at 6:00 A.M. all 
year but WIEZ 670 and WIOO 1000 can't come on till sunrise? 
All three stations are on the same frequency as Chicago
stations.
