Narrative:

Fgt X was on an opp direction IFR approach and did not get switched from ZKC to sln tower until on a 1 mi final. Evasive action was required of an atx Y departing runway 17. ZKC was 'busy' with thunderstorms in the area, and has no radar coverage in the sln area. This is why the situation occurred. It is common at salina.
