The facility, a project of American's long lines depart- ment, will be part of a new ra- dio relay express route between Jackson, Miss. and Washington, D.C., providing more than 4,500 additional long-distance circuits for growing communications needs in Georgia and the South.

The station alone will cost an estimated $175,000 and will in- clude a building and tower. The one-story reinforced concrete building will house equipment needed for microwave transmis- sion. A 225-foot tower will be equipped with the latest-type antennas. Radio relay towers are nor- mally placed 25-30 miles apart to maintain direct line-of-sight transmission over a radio relay route.
