Apparently David Franz, owner of WWRB, passed away around the beginning of the new year.
I ran across this -- https://www.reddit.com/r/shortwave/comments/rz2a65/shortwave_station_wwrb_owner_passes/ -- and I remember having several conversations with Franz during the time I was the WWCR Webmaster. I did no work for Franz, as it would have been a conflict of interest for me to do so. The WWRB website wwrb.org has just a holding page, and interesting the 2020 WRTH had no listing for the station. Further rooting around in the web (don't ask me how I found this) turned up a message -- http://www.allwillstand.org/index.php/schedule/ -- from apparently one of the buyers of time on WWRB, reporting a January 2 phone call from David Franz's son. The local business website -- https://nicelocal.com/tennessee/business/radio_station_wwrb/ -- only has minimum data. The station is still sited at the airport as you can see in Google Earth. As I write this on a Saturday night, an obituary search for Morrison, TN, turned up no additional information. Time, it do march on. I can't believe I started mucking around in 1952 with a 1943 Hallicrafters S-38 . <sigh> Tom w2xq.com
