W271BN (WENN-AM) translator to decrease power, increase height.

W271BN, better known as neo soul-formatted WENN-FM in Birmingham, is getting a big drop in power, from 228 watts to just 85 watts vertical.  The coverage will remain about the same, though, as they're moving up in height considerably.  Still, with Birmingham being such a large metro and with the ever-present threat of tropospheric ducting to destroy weaker signals, it's odd to see them take such a big power cut.
