KJJP-FM 105.7 is currently operating at 15% of power, limiting its signal strength and range in the Amarillo-Canyon area. This due to complicated problems with its very old transmitter. Local engineers are continuing to work on the transmitter and are consulting with the manufacturer to diagnose and fix the problems. We apologize for this disruption and service as we work as quickly as possible to restore KJPFM to full power. In the mean time you can always stream either the HPPR Mix service or HPPR Connect service using the player above or the HPPR app.

Recent torrential rains brought flash flooding to low-lying portions of Lamar and southeastern Colorado. Heavy rains and strong winds closed Highway 50 in low areas. Several railroad underpasses were closed until waters receded reported Russ Baldwin for the Prowers Journal.

The area is in extreme and severe drought conditions according to the United States Drought Monitor.

A slideshow of flooded areas and more details are available from the Prowers Journal.
