GC4JZW2 - Puzzle Week #5

1.  Here is the puzzle.

Geocache Description:


CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES


This puzzle cache requires you to solve the puzzle to get the final coordinates. The cache is within one mile of the posted coordinates. You can verify your coordinates with the Geocheck icon at the bottom of the description. The difficulty rating is the sum of the puzzle solve and the hide. The final cache is a micro container, so bring your own writing utensil.

This week is Puzzle Week. I will be posting a new puzzle cache in the Medford area each day this week for a total of seven new caches. If you need a hint on any of the puzzles, I would prefer that you message meinstead of asking others that have solved the puzzle.

W242BB:  The bogus coordinates are actually for the WKEB-FM tower north of Medford. This station was assigned WIGM-FM (to be a sister station of WIGM-AM 1490, named after Irma and George Meyer, the original owners) and the frequency 99.3 Mhz. In 1997, it changed to its current call sign, WKEB. The tower is 280 feet (85 meters) tall.
