Dennis, I have no clue why the change over, but it sounds like they had to move and since they did, they had to do a different type of antenna because is possible interference. It sounds that way from the letter. Possible they were leasing the land from where their old tower was and lost the lease. That is what happened with KODL The Dalles. They had to come up with a longwire. That lasted for several years. They finally got towers in the last couple of years. I don't know about KCFM, but if is possible. The signal is nearly the same. But at 150+ air miles from here, 1250 is rather weak at times. Florence is on the Central coast and I am the Northern Coast. If they had 5KW, I would hear them better. KWRO-630-Coquille on the South coast at wel over 200 miles, is strong off the SW EWE.
