The biggest problem here - the Cleveland metro area has grown towards the
southwest, into parts of Medina County that are mostly in the null of 1220's
pattern.

This, presumably, is due to the protection of the Mexican operations you note
in your original message.


Yes, and a change in site to accommodate the change in Cleveland's metro area
would undoubtedly result in a severe ratcheting of the station's power. Perhaps
to 25 kW.

Salem's "forced move" of its KFAX in S.F. would result in ratcheting to about
40 kW if Salem doesn't get a waiver. And, the move is well within the radius
which is supposed to qualify an "in kind" move of an existing array. Salem is
proposing retaining 50 kW, but with slight array parameter changes which
somewhat mitigate the potential interference to several CP'd stations in Idaho
and Nevada.

WOR met the same fate on its forced move, and its new pattern will provide
better protection to a Canadian station which no longer exists (moved to FM),
but remains "notified" on 710.
