	The WBLM antenna center of radiation is 1,811 feet above mean sea
level,  or 1,430 feet above average terrain.  It should also be noted
that WBLM is north of the FM Zone line and so is a Class C with 100 kW
ERP, not a Class B with 50 kW.  
	WBLM just finished replacing its antenna following ice damage sustained
during last winter's ice storm.  It had been operating at lowered power
or from its auxilliary site for some time.
