This is an odd one. Pensacola's WPNN at 790 kHz on the standard radio dial has just received a construction permit to upgrade their daytime facilities.
Their current setup is odd: 1 kW days from a site in the heart of Pensacola, 66 watts nights from a site across Escambia Bay, south of Milton and I-10. The construction permit will move the daytime service to the Milton site and be a 3 tower directional array, with a major kidney-shaped lope to the west to cover Pensacola.
Now here's the oddity: Radio-Locator lists the CP as a daytime only operation. As far as I can tell, this new setup does not include any nighttime service! It's normal for daytimers to get nighttime authorization added, but I don't think I've ever seen a station go from fulltime service to daytime-only.
The nighttime/dayime CP transmitter site is the same 3 tower setup currently used by WEBY.
