[BC] Stations that sign off

[towers at mre.com]

Depending on the electric...that's possibly $10K/year saved. More if the
TX room is cooled.

They might also have a shortage of people willing to come in overnight if
their desire is to "control" the station.

I don't find this all that unusual.  On of our 24 hour stations signs off
at midnight and back on at 5AM.
