Re: [IRCA] Call letter meanings - 75 years ago

     My college radio station at Valdosta State College (now Valdosta State University) in Valdosta, GA is WVVS. It's supposed to be We're the Wonderful Voice of Valdosta State. However, in college, during my heavy metal show, I used to call it the Wicked Voice of Vice and Sin. Somehow it fit, but I used to get some looks whenever I said it out loud.

(Smaller meaning less daytime power, also could include ones with nighttime flea power or daytime only stations, just not any that have high daytime power like 50kW.)  I know of 1230 KXO in El Centro, CA, anyone else know of any others?
