Moving to new servers (again)

Our host, Bluebot, just announced they are shutting down effective the first of the year.  Starting today we've moved to new servers.  The change should be complete across the internet in about 48 hours, so in the mean time you may run into missing files or other unexpected errors.  I pointed the nameservers to the new address BEFORE uploading all the files, d'oh.  At least where I live the changeover hasn't happened yet and it's been a few hours, but I did see some error messages being logged off the new server, so someone somewhere got the change in a hurry!

W298BG gets CP to change COL to Albertville, and move… out of Albertville.

For many of the entries on the translators page of ABMP, you may have noticed that I sometimes that to the city of license for a translator, I sometimes add another community name in parenthesis.  For example:

Blue Mountain (Albertville)

This is because the COL for a translator need not resemble its actual location or even its service area under some circumstances.  For the above, the translator W298BG, which relays local AM WAVU, is licensed to the Blue Mountain community but actually serves Albertville.  Blue Mountain is actually a suburban area of Anniston and nowhere near Albertville.

At some point translator owners will eventually change their COL to reflect the new location.  W298BG has done just this; they have received permission to change COL from Blue Mountain to Albertville.  Except, with their change to Albertville, they're actually moving the transmitter site outside Albertville, to a point well east of Sardis City, near I-59.  It is within the 2 mv/m coverage of WAVU and also within the 25 mile limit imposed by the FCC for translators, but will greatly improve coverage of WAVU's gospel music format towards Gadsden.

The translator will likely still cover Albertville well while adding a lot of Gadsden to the service area.  It will be co-located on the WQSB stick.
