I'm thinking that they'll be doing antenna, and/or transmitter repairs.
For this, I'm sure they'd prefer daylight hours, so with 690 secondary to

This is an important event! Not sure on what level, but it would allow
us crystal clear reception of whatever else is on 690khz.
And now for a slight exaggeration: When there is a technical failure of
