2001 tower down?

F

I read this here http://blogs.wlfi.com/2011/08/17/43556/

October 24, 2001 QLCS

A QLCS with passed with a main, large swath of significant wind damage in the heart of the WLFI viewing area.

Structural damage was reported in every township in Benton County with many farm buildings heavily damaged or destroyed. A 72 mph wind gust was measured at Fowler. This wind damage swath extended into White County with substantial straight-line wind damage to structures, trees & powerlines occurred in the southern half of the county to as far north as Monticello, where a 70 mph wind gust was reported. A television & radio tower was toppled by the winds at Chalmers.

...Who's tower is/was in Chalmers?
 
I'm having a hard time finding out, but it definitely wasn't WLFI. Based on what the FCC has available from 2001 & 2002 for WLFI, they've always had their tower in Rossville.
 
That might be the old 500ft tower that 95.3 used to be on when it was licensed to Monticello back in the 80's. It was located in the middle of a field off a county road in Chalmers.
(AKA... WWET Wet95, WLZR The Lazer,WKJM, Magic95 then Power95, Lite & EZ WEZV from 1983 thru 1992.)
 
The 95.3 tower is now located north of Battle Ground near the Tippecanoe/White County line not too far off State Road 43.

Quick question for someone who might know...when did 95.3's COL get changed to Brookston?
