If you're a fan of the new Vulcan's music and live north or east of downtown, better get your tape recorder handy because your signal is about to take a nose-dive.
Translator W276BQ that relays The Vulcan rock format on 103.1 MHz is moving off the devil-pronged master antenna atop Red Mountain and onto the short Magic 96 tower on Ishkooda Mountain west of downtown. The station had been authorized 130 watts but was running the full 250 watts thanks to a STA that let them run higher power while seeking a permanent home for the signal. Although the facility at the WMJJ tower is still for 250 watts, it's at a considerably lower 990 feet versus the current 1305 feet over downtown. This will lower the signal strength considerably in places like Gardendale, Center Point, Irondale and Trussville.
