WQJJ-LP receives permit to raise antenna height, lower power

Jasper's spunky little LPFM, WQJJ "Fox 97.7" has received a construction permit to alter their facilities.  The current TX site is off Brakefield Dairy Road (AL-195) north of downtown Jasper, with 100 watts from just 30 feet.  The permit will raise the antenna height to 135 feet, with a drop in power to 53 watts (all powers horizontal).

Although in theory the coverage may not seem like it would change much due to the decrease in power, gaining that much height is sure to improve the reception in the outer reaches of the city.
