Transmission Tower
WPBA and WABE share two adjacent towers]s in the east side of the city between Edgewood and Kirkwood with the single antenna used by WSB-FM 98.5, WSTR FM 94.1 and WVEE FM 103.3. (Those three radio stations' transmitters are diplexed together, so that they all feed to the antenna instead of into each other.) WABE was formerly on Stone Mountain, but had to leave when WGTV needed the space for its digital equipment, in addition to maintaining analog, and the use of the tower by KEC80 to transmit NOAA Weather Radio.
Like WGTV, WPBA also has a weak signal well below the maximum power allowed, limiting its useful broadcast range. As a result, its over-the-air signal is marginal at best outside the Perimeter (i.e., Atlanta itself and the inner suburbs).

Famous quotes containing the word tower:
“The Church disowned, the tower overthrown, the bells upturned, what have we to do
But stand with empty hands and palms turned upwards
In an age which advances progressively backwards?”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
