WWBB 101.5 Providence, RI

In 2014, WWBB was downgraded from a 13.5KW DA-B to a 6KW DA-A from downtown Providence.
The installation is complete, and here are pictures of it on top of Hospital Trust

Update In 2015, due to rooftop RFR issues, the antenna was replaced with a two bay higher up.

Compared to the photos below, you can see how much higher this is.


Another view. I got this picture quickly. Unfortunately, I didn't notice it was fuzzy until I processed it.
