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.

A Tireless Conservationist Bids Kansas Adieu

Tim Christian and his wife Cozette are packing everything into a camper and heading West. For the past ten years, Tim has coordinated the Kansas Grazing Lands Coalition, a non-profit that helps Kansas ranchers regenerate grazing resources. His efforts in the state have been exceedingly successful, says Kansas Agland. And you can see the difference. Across the state, landowners have installed solar power, implemented rotational grazing systems, and cleared out invasive species.

Much of Tim’s good work was accomplished through cost-share programs and grants. Christian tirelessly researched sources from which to fund Kansas conservation projects. Tim will do his last work for the coalition in med-September, then head off into the sunset.
