Long enough (4650 characters), new enough (5x expanded on 19 May), QPQ is done. I prefer ALT1, perhaps linked to Electromagnetic interference (disclaimer: I work on radio frequency interference in my day job), but the main hook would also be OK if shortened a bit (is 'the radio station at the' needed?) and 'benefit Cambodians' is linked to explain it. The article is referenced inline, but it really needs to have more than one section - @Sammi Brie: could you try tweaking the hooks and adding sections to the article, please? Thanks.
