Multiple sources report WPLX-LP 93.3 Pelham is on the air

LPFMdatabase says they filed for a license to cover today, while a local DXer reported it as testing as of July 7.

Religious programming. Well that's nice, Birmingham doesn't have enough religious stations.

I'm in Pelham right now and am hearing them with just instrumental music (can't really tell if it's hymns or not) interspersed with simple "WPLX-LP Pelham" ID's.

The signal is spotty (overwhelmed by WSYE right in front of the Pelham Home Depot) so I suspect they're testing rather than broadcasting at this point.

Back in the first LPFM licensing window, there was a group out of Pelham that landed a CP for 105.5 as WXMT-LP. That station was never built, but I wonder if the same people are involved with this new station: Oak Mountain Community Radio vs North Shelby Community Radio - those same vague sounding names that usually mean another satellite-fed Adventist or Catholic relay is on the way.

(By the way, WSYP's webpage has gone 404, but their transmitter is still running. Now it's long taped Black Lives Matter-type speeches and interviews that repeat throughout the day. I can get a weak signal on a car radio from them in certain spots of Homewood and Mountain Brook, but have yet to catch a TOH ID. Sankofa's Twitter page had two brief videos supposedly filmed at their studios.)
