Financial or zoning issues would be my guess.  What's involved in making 
the change...are there additional towers that need to be constructed or is 
it just tweaking of phasing?

I can't speak for the western suburbs, but the signal seemed a lot better 
here in N.H. back when the tx was in Quincy.  A decent portable could 
receive it quite well (at least during the day).  The same radio can't even 
hear 1510 today.
