That is sad. I have a nice QSL from them from Oregon. Yes, they were even heard when Bakersfield was on during DX Tests. I wonder if someone else will apply for 1560?

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.
