WSMN Sold And Expected Back On The Air Soon

One wonders whether Mr. Monaghan has anyone experienced enough in the ways 
of AM radio to counsel him as well as Dan is doing right here, or whether 
he's spending the $300K on the theory that losing the three-tower array is 
no big deal.

Dan, isn't the 1580 Cordaville app also a concern here, since (as long as 
it's alive) it limits WSMN's 0.25 mV contour in that direction as well?

And changing COL to, say, Hudson might have been a possibility once - but 
it requires the sort of major-change window that came and went a year ago 
and isn't likely to come around again for a while...
