Re: [IRCA] WARR and the Palefaces

Hi all....In the late 50's-early 60's , WBAZ  1550 Kingston, N.Y.   500 
watts daytime     ( now dark)..........used to sign off with: " Not by 
choice, but by order of the FCC, WBAZ now leaves the air. Tune in tomorrow 
at  such and such  time when we begin another broadcast day......." followed 
by the SSB.  This little station was a rocker, and sounded good, very 
professional for a time......at one point, in the winter, they had  only: 
two deejays:  Richie Allen, and Bob Badger, (who had worked at WPTR  in 
Albany). They each had two air shifts a day., but in the winter, it was a 
very short broadcast day.....about 8-9 hours I  guess too much competition 
from WABC, WKBW ( in early mornings and late afternoons) plus a peanut 
whistle signal probably led to their demise.     Chris  K4NHL   near 
Tigerville, S.C.
