Baldwin County's W279AT making the move up highway 59.

W279AT (103.7 MHz) is currently licensed to Robertsdale and listed as relaying WSTF out of Andalusia.  As far as I have sampled, the facility has never been built or put on the air.  It's now receiving a construction permit to move up Alabama highway 59 to the next town, Loxley.   The new site will be less than 30 feet of the ground, with 10 vertical watts of power, located behind the big Loxley Church of God just south of town.

Will this be another dead facility or does it stand a chance of getting put on?  It's certainly plausible that it may wind up being operated by the church since the antenna site is on church property, and the short height means it can be attached to a light pole or other non-tower support.  We'll see what happens.
