The LT stands for Limited Time.? There is no mention of daytime only operation.? I'm pretty sure you will find the same thing for the other stations that Broadcasting Yearbook listed as (L-xxxx) for years.? In the power listings for the stations in BY, they do not say anything like 5 KW-D, which would indicate that they are licensed as a daytimer.? WJJD was listed as 50 KW, DA-1, LT for years. ?????

KMMJ-AM 750 Grand Island, NE is licensed as ?Limited Hours? and I was curious what exactly this meant. I inquired, a search of FCC History/Archived Records was made and yielded this answer: Way back on September 19, 1968, KMMJ was issued a telegram for presunrise authority to commence operation with its licensed facilities at the local sunrise time of cochannel station WSB, Atlanta.? The authority was conditioned subject to the outcome of a rulemaking proceeding (Dockets 17562, 18023, and 18036) relating to the ?status of Class II stations [here KMMJ] assigned to US I-A clear channels.? ? ? ? Ultimately, the Commission settled on a 500 watt limitation on presunrise operation nationwide.? That was less than KMMJ?s regular operating power (10.5 kW directional away from WSB). ? It appears too that WSB opposed letting KMMJ keep the higher power presunrise authority (see paragraphs 31 and 32 at ?https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-69-844A1.pdf , July 29, 1969). ? The solution the staff came up with was to issue the license for KMMJ with ?limited time? of operation.? In effect that replaced operation of the 500 watt presunrise limit applicable elsewhere in the country.? See the Memorandum of June 12, 1974: ?https://apps2int.fcc.gov/admin/api/download/attachment/25076f9170b21d4a0170bfdedcc90169 . ? The changes on the license were included on the next renewal of license authorization (BR-676, dated May 20, 1977).? The changes made KMMJ into a ?Limited Hours? station and specified the on-air times.? As a practical matter, however, KMMJ continued to operate unchanged. ? ?(This is the origin of the comment in the AM Query: ?LIMITED TIME OPERATION: SEE BR-676, MAY 20, 1977.) ?BR-676: ?https://enterpriseefiling.fcc.gov/dataentry/api/download/attachment/25076f9170b21d4a0170c009b0480176 KMMJ is still licensed to operate in this manner. ?It is likely that there is no other station in the country licensed in this manner.?? _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.

It likely went to the UPU as well. In this case, any competent postal service would not accept this piece of mail. Now, check the following links, nothing newer, so the current situation is anybody's guess: https://www.canadapost.ca/web/en/blogs/announcements/details.page?article=2017/10/05/guatemala&cattype=announcements&cat=updates https://www.canadapost.ca/web/en/blogs/announcements/details.page?article=2018/11/06/mail_and_parcel_serv&cattype=announcements&cat=updates Service on paper does not mean service in reality. The mailbags may all be ending in a paper recycling facility in Guatemala City. Regards, Vince, Ottawa, ON`` And from Leonardo Santiago, M?rida, Venezuela: Hi Glenn, in a previous contact with Dr. Madrid at the end of 2019, he told me the same thing; they cannot send out any postal correspondence due to the lack of postal services in Guatemala since about a couple of years (as far as I can remember). In fact, he sent me a scanned QSL card instead of a printed one along various e-souvenirs for an e-report on Radio Truth. You also asked if there was another country in the world with a similar situation, and I wanted to add my country. Venezuela is facing a similar problem with the national public postal service known as IPOSTEL, standing for Instituto Postal Telegr?fico. It happens that they are unable to send letters and packages out, but they are handing out what enters to the country only. According to them, it is due to the lack of transport, car parts and lack of gasoline (this is what they have told me in my recent visits to the local post office). Notwithstanding, although dxer Jorge Medina in Punto Fijo, Falcon, told me that he was receiving some QSLs in November last year, I sadly say that I personally haven't received anything yet, although many QSLs and packages were announced to me via e-mail even since June the 2019. So, just in case somebody is reporting a radio station from Venezuela attempting a QSL verification, my recommendation is to add his e-mail address or WhatsApp contact for a more probable answer, although many stations can be contacted via FB or e-mail. 73s, Leonardo Santiago, M?rida, Venezuela`` Also, some extraneous punxuation dysfunxionalized URLs in Ron Howard`s previous report; fixed: https://www.lonelyplanet.com/guatemala/post US Postal Service website currently shows service to Guatemala. https://postcalc.usps.com/ Online I noted: "Effective April 6, 2019, the U.S. Postal Service? restored mail service to Guatemala." http://accessworldwide.net/2019/04/25/mail-services-to-guatemala-resumes/ Please do not attach any punxuation, like () or periods, to URLs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

Referring to preceding gap, or ``has it been 3 months since the last live show?`` Says interrupted hiatus because of ``craziness``, i.e. run on toilet paper, on and on about that. It`s God`s will to unfurl these particles visible only through an electron microscope. ``God help us if we had any other president.`` He`s already been taking calls including annoying Freddie. ``It`s hot in Florida; Angela likes to go around half-nekkid all the time.`` Finally at 0030 confirms it`s the 13th of March, YOOL 2020.

[see also WRMI: 5800] Here`s John Carver`s version: ``Tonight's AAWWW --- show started a bit over two minutes late this evening on 7490. There was no signal on 5130. Allan and Angela in the studio in Fla. Says they decided to do a show because of all the craziness in the world. Opens with talk of the Corona Virus and the shortage of toilet paper. Phone call at 0006 from the April Time Lady which generates more toilet paper talk. Phone call at 0011 from Freddie and more toilet paper talk. Then a serious talk about the virus and other Corona types. Stressed that the manufacture of medicines should be brought back to the US instead of overseas. Long reading of an inspirational paper forwarded to the station. We are reassured several times that WBCQ will continue on for us no matter what happens. Several spot checks during the first forty-five minutes of the program never found a signal on 5130. Allan did say that in the near future 6160 and 3265 would be returning to the air with programming. Reading of emails at 0055. Closing prayer at 0058. Program was off the air at 0100 in the middle of the closing prayer. Other than the mention of 6160 and 3265 there was no station info this evening. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5800, UT Sat Mar 14 at 0100, this WRMI is starting `Hal Turner` show // much stronger 9455, and also // WBCQ 7490v, but thus abolishing RAE relay in Spanish. No, it was not shifted to the previous hour as SMTV was still on 5800 past 0000. Is it somewhere else on schedule now? The transmission grid still shows RAE [Spanish] at 0100 on 5800 from System H; but the H grid only shows Alameda and Wavescan. It does show RAE Spanish at 22-23 M-F on System D 5010: I have assumed this was long outdated info but have not deconfirmed it lately. Note that in previous report, Taiwan is scheduled to experiment with Spanish on WRMI 5800, at 0100-0130 UT March 16-17-18. 9395, UT Sat Mar 14 at 0110, I`m trying to tell whether Argentina in English is now here one hour earlier, but direct and via numerous remotes tried, just too weak to be sure. And why is this so much weaker than Turner on 9455 if both are on same azimuth 355; not same powers?
