I haven't been able to find the application, but the STA cover letter
indicates that the FCC decided in favor of WRHI's request because the
licensee "states that it is no longer able to serve its community of
license due to rapid expansion of the community and the technical
restraints imposed on its AM operation."

This letter is available at: http://tinyurl.com/325wr3

Information I found on the Rock Hill, SC website verifies the city has
been rapidly expanding:

WRHI was fortunate to be able to make this claim -- and to have the
right political connections.   But suppose the population growth had
occurred in an adjacent municipality, bordering Rock Hill, but still
within WHMA's service contour. Would the FCC have denied the waiver
request?
