Transmitter upgrade doubles radio station's wattage
FARMER CITY – A power upgrade long in the works is now a reality at radio station WWHP-FM 98.3, better known as "The Whip" in Farmer City.
The upgraded transmitter now effectively doubles the station's power, from 3,000 watts to 6,000 watts. The boost now allows the station and its advertisers to reach much larger markets, from Bloomington-Normal to the northwest to Champaign-Urbana in the southwest.
