re: #29 William Lewis

Public Radio in Wisconsin had very early licenses - 9XM starting in June 1915 broadcasting weather reports to farmers via morse code. They were forced to shutdown during WWI because, I guess, the Germans would be helped by hearing the weather in southern Wisconsin. They experimented with early voice after the war and got the sign WX3 then in 1920 became 9XM again till June 22 when they became WHA that it has been broadcasting as ever since. WHA is talk radio these days (AM) but they have classical and jazz broadcasts on FM too.

I think I also remember the WGN broadcasts since (I think) back then you’d also gets Cubs games. (Would have to be road games since Wrigley did not do night games until 1988.)

Looking at things there is also the possibility I was picking up WLS since it was a music station then and had a pretty powerful signal as well.
