WHP's 1949 construction permit

This document from the FCC permitted WHP to begin construction of a new transmitter site on a new frequency.  The site was built on Tower Road in Enola, PA between 1949 and 1951.  By moving from 1460 to 580 khz, WHP's coverage improved without the need for additional power.  The transition was complete when the old transmitter in Swatara Township signed off for the last time and the new transmitter in Enola began broadcasting on May 21, 1951 at 8:29 PM.
