[IRCA] Off Topic - Local Joliet Radio History - WAJP FM

Today in the paper is an obituary for Mary Jane Pohlers, who helped put Joliet's first FM station on the air in 1960. I recall listening to this station, WAJP shortly after it came on the air with Al Pohlers, Mary's husband, as the announcer. The programming sounded "home made" and probably

A couple TPs heard this morning; the star was 774 Japan with EE lessons, rising to medium level for easy understanding what was being said by the man and woman. 1566 HLAZ never came close to that level. I put my E/W longwire up again, this time 220 feet from the parallel powerline and that
