A move that doesnt make sense? You cant think of it from a DX'ers point of view, but from a station manager and local advertisers point of view.
You can't hear 1700 in Oskaloosa very well, if at all, at night i'd bet. Plus,why would local, small town mom n pop businesses advertise on a big Des Moines station? Same reason why in some midwestern places you can hear country on 6 spots on the dial..... even if people in town can hear a distant signal, they want something local that will support local teams, local causes and local businesses.
