WQLS Camden struggling to get built out, seeks power reduction

Alabama Christian Radio currently has a construction permit for a new non-commercial station in Camden. It is set to expire in December and the facilities are not yet built.  The previous permit was for 40 kW at about 246 feet (see 60 dBu contour plot). A new modification of the permit has come through, relocating the transmitter site from the community of Vredenburgh to Camden itself.  The power will drop to just 400 watts from approximately 420 feet. This will allow a quicker build-out to get the station on the air before the permit lapses.

The FCC's contour map for the new facility is broken, but you can get an idea of the potential coverage from the coverage Exhibit (PDF) submitted to the FCC.
