W241BD reports on-air to FCC.

W241BD (96.1 MHz, 8 watts, relaying WGIB) has filed a license to cover with the FCC.  The station, licensed to Calera, actually broadcasts to the Alabaster area from a cell phone tower across US-31 from the Colonial shopping center, south of I-65.

WGIB doesn't need any help filling in coverage in the area, since they are heard on WQEM, which transmits from just over the next hill.  Could an relay deal with a Birmingham-area AM be far behind?  Spanish-language WQCR broadcasts from just down the highway.
