[BC] sign-on games

[Larry Fuss]

Their license is not available online, but the FCC's AM Query contains this
list of sunrise/sunset times for them:

3&slon=14.00&tzone=A

It says sign-on time in December is 7:15 am.

Are you sure they're not authorized the power till 7:15?  Have you seen 
their license?  Maybe they're just across a line where FCC changes the 
time in certain months.
