It's possible, with just a few minutes of actual research in place of 
random guesswork, to determine whether or not KVRI's six night towers 
are the same six towers it uses during the day. They are, and the answer 
is as close as fccinfo.com, where we find that the same six Antenna 
Structure Registration numbers appear on the nighttime record for KVRI 
as on the day record.

What's more, four of those towers are also used by sister station KARI 
550, which was there first. (The KARI records at fccinfo.com don't 
include ASR numbers, but the coordinates are the same as KVRI, the tower 
heights match - 97.5 meters all around - and a look at the KVRI records 
show that four of the ASR numbers are fairly old, while two more were 
issued later on, when the two additional towers were added for the KVRI 
diplex.)

I have no clue where the "11 towers" business came from.

If the KVRI array is in fact out of whack, that's not just a problem for 
KOHI. Any RF that KVRI is sending south is going away from that 
station's target listeners north of the border in the Vancouver market, 
and it needs every watt it can get to hot those listeners up north.
