I thought it was mainly to protect CKOC(?) in Hamilton Ontario (50kw Day
& Night).

Although they've since moved from that frequency, haven't they?

It appears their strength at night has always been 'the cape'.

When Greater Media owned 1150, there were plans drawn up to bring it up
to 50KW.

I don't know how the pattern woulda changed.  Maybe just making them
stronger downtown....but only adding additional coverage over the water.
...i.e.. not adding any significvant coverage.  

Again, didn't the Hamilton Station move from that frequency?  I would
think that would open them up to the North a bit...and make a world of
difference.
