Radio call letters: What do they mean?
The old call signs, like WBZ, WTIC, WEAF, WJZ, WCAU, KDKA, WGY, WGN, WOO,
KYW, KOA, KFI didn't mean anything. The three and four letter call signs were shared with coastal stations, point-to-point stations and ships. Broadcasters got what was left. WLIT, Lit Brothers Department Store in Philadelphia was the first station I remember that had a call sign that meant anything. 73 -- Gerry K8EF http://www.pbase.com/gfoley9999/ http://www.wilowud.net/ http://home.columbus.rr.com/gfoley http://www.fortunecity.com/victorian...ypt/egypt.html http://foley.foleypages.net/~gerry/ |
