KJJP-FM 105.7 is currently operating at very reduced power and signal range using a back-up transmitter. This is because of complicated problems with its very old primary transmitter. Local engineers are currently working on that transmitter and 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.

Unintentional Skydiving Trick Is Successful

Published October 18, 2016 at 6:11 AM CDT

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep with an unintentional skydiving trick. Shelby Palmer was performing a mid-air stunt over central Texas when one of his shoes came off - awkward since it was borrowed. Video posted by the Dallas Morning News shows the shoe tumbling away from Palmer. He altered his rate of descent to chase it. It bounced off his chest. He caught it and put it on while still in the air. Think about that the next time you're balancing your coffee in the car. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
