KJJP-FM 105.7 is currently operating at 15% of power, limiting its signal strength and range in the Amarillo-Canyon area. This due to complicated problems with its very old transmitter. Local engineers are continuing to work on the transmitter and are 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.

Wanting An Edge, Beer 'Enthusiast' Steals Bottle Caps

Published August 19, 2015 at 6:44 AM CDT

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep with news of serious players in a contest. A German beer company offered points toward prizes. Some bottle caps are winners. Others say sorry, try again. Those who lose can at least drown their sorrows in beer. Somebody broke into a store, though, and starting removing bottle caps, then opened more. They opened 1,200 beer bottles, made off with the winning bottle caps and apparently did not drink a single drop of beer. You're listening to MORNING EDITION.
