WXL-75 off the air

WXL-75 in Holdrege, NE (Kearney area) is off the air as the Nebraska Educational Telecommunications tower that the WXL-75 antenna was on collapsed in a tower-airplane collision. Nearby stations include KGG-99, which gets a fair signal to Kearney, WXL-74 Giltner, KEC-39 Cambridge, and KWN-59 Kirwin, KS. Those stations serve portions of the area covered by WXL-75; it may possibly be a few months before the NWS installs a replacement transmitter on a different tower.
