Re: [IRCA] WLGN format Change

["Donald K. Kaskey" <kaskeyfamily@xxxxxxxxx>]

The station in Logan that pops into my mind when reading the interesting bit from David (below) is the one I heard back in the early fifties.  WVOW on 1290 with 5000 watts.  It was one of 31
West Virginians I heard from NW Iowa 1949-1953.
