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.

Bob Davis is a former HPPR executive director who returned to his home state of Alabama where he writes, consults, works and remains an avid bike rider. He’s known for posting photographs taken each morning on his rides as well as the blogs he posts details insights into his life and world events. He once posted the following poem – with his sincere apologies to Dr. Seuss. Perhaps not the most elevated poetry but certainly a worthwhile and appreciated suggestion by this former HPPR leader.

Want can you do for High Plains Public Radio?
What can you do? Why you can renew.
But how do you do that renew?
You can renew while wearing a shoe.
You can renew while squirting some glue.
You can renew before the cows say moo.
You can renew in the wind that’s blew.
You can renew before the baby bison grew.
So, you see, it’s easy to do.
Call the old 800-678-7444 skidoo.
