Savannah NWS Weather Radio Transmitter to Move

It was mentioned during the Skywarn weather spotters class I attended last night that the National Weather Service Weather Radio transmitter (162.400) that covers Savannah will be moving from the downtown Savannah area to a tower in Jasper County, SC. Placement on the tower will be higher (I forget the height because I didn't write it down) and will give the transmitter improved coverage.

I also hope that this improves the RF situation in downtown Savannah. The powerful signal on 162.400 bleeds over on 234.800 on my Uniden equipment as well as bleeding over on various other federal VHF frequencies on almost all of my equipment.
