A quick post about a translator move going on down in Mobile. W278AP is currently licensed to Daphne, with 25 vertical-only watts of non-directional power on 103.7 MHz. The parent station is listed as WSTF out of Andalusia. It just received a construction permit for a move to the WKRG-TV tower, with a change of city to Spanish Fort. The power will increase to 99 watts both H&V, with a highly directional antenna towards downtown Mobile. The height will increase from a paltry 26 feet above ground level to nearly 650 feet, giving the translator a great line of sight into downtown Mobile across the bay.
The parent station is changing to WBHY-AM. This is WBHY's second FM translator, after W295BB 106.9 MHz in Fairhope. That translator is not currently on the air and hasn't been on the air for months. The existing W278AP license has never been on the air either as far as I know. The location is on the grounds of Daphne Middle School, and there is no tower or other outward appearance that any facility was ever built there.
