Columbus-area W299AX on the move.

Ten watt translator W299AX is currently licensed to the community of Laconia, Alabama, and transmits from a facility north of Phenix City.  It also covers part of Columbus, Georgia.  The translator has just received a permit to move to a site just west of Phenix City, much closer to the community of Laconia.  But with this move comes a city of license change across the state line to Columbus.   So when it was closer to Columbus, it was licensed to Laconia.  Now it's closer to Laconia and licensed to Columbus.  Such is the wacky world of translators.

The facility has been previously listed as relaying Georgia's Peach State Public Radio station WJSP, licensed to nearby Warm Springs, Georgia.  With the construction permit, the station is now being shown to relay WJEP out of Cusseta, Georgia.  The owner is Edgewater Broadcasting but it's unclear which religious network the parent station is carrying.
