Daytimer WAGL-1560 Lancaster, South Carolina, once a continent-spanning best
bet for the Palmetto State, is no more. Longtime owner B. Len Phillips Jr.
died in September at 77, and the license has recently been turned in and the
station deleted.
DX test and sunrise receptions on the West Coast were commonplace at one time,
with KPMC Bakersfield off nightly. WAGL operated with 10 and later 50
kilowatts.
A DX test on October 18, 1993 brought in a report from Paul Ormandy in Oamaru,
New Zealand. Len was quite pleased and included a copy of Paul's report as
part of the verie package.
There's a YouTube posting of a 1980 recording of Len doing the sign-off; toward
the end you can hear traces of the sign-off of long-gone WTRQ in Warsaw, North
Carolina.
