Xen,
I know you have the old FCC microfiches, so here's a question.
WCEM's tower is lattice up to maybe 120 degrees and a pole the rest of
the way to 157 degrees. The pole carries their FM.

My question is, "Did the station start with only the lattice tower and
then added the pole when they added FM?"
Because their "efficiency" is much lower than one would expect for
their tall tower, Strassberg suggests they may be putting some of
their power into a resistor.
Thanks,
bob carpenter
