Scott, do you just keep the 3 watt night-time power on just so you can
listen to your music?  If so, I can understand just for personal
pleasure.

Strictly financial, I'd probably not even bother and just sign off
cold for the night and save myself the money on the light bill.
Obviously it would be a solid-state transmitter.

I'm one of those people who's jonesed for a small-town daytime AM
station at the top of the dial for years (I'm 37 now).

I figure run it during the day - local programming, hire some local
people from the town and then when it's sundown, just bang it off and
hit the sack like the rest of the town will do anyway.  No worries
about what's up with the station malfunctioning at night, or is the
overnight guy doing his job, or whatever.

At least that's how things are here in Eastern Carolina.  We get up
with the chickens and once 6 or 7 rolls around, everyone's pretty much
home and done for the night.

Good luck makin' it!!! :)
