I would think 1460 exhausted all locations in the area are far as diplexing, otherwise why go to the long wire? This looks permanent at least until they can find a site. This may stretch out for quite some time, as long as the FCC will renew the CP. I am going to give this a shot, but there are several other stations on 1460. Yakima is quite strong and then the one down in the valley in Oregon. KARR was not all that strong with 5 KW days.
