Thanks for all the fun pirate postings. I was also bitten by the "broadcasting bug" and built "WQRM" in my bedroom circa 1972, but it never amounted to much. No photos remain, unfortunately.

Regarding this comment from your WLAT/WHAY page: "The call letters were changed to WRCQ ("91 Q") in the 1974 and the station adopted a Music of Your Life Format." Actually, 91-Q was an oldies station. On 12/25/80, the format changed to Schulke II. But it didn't go Music Of Your Life until 1982. I remember it well because 91-Q was one of my favorite stations, and I was greatly disappointed when they dropped the oldies format in 1980.

Excellent job with this site, brings back great memories, keep it going! Brian Battles WCCC 1979-80, 1983-84, 1985 WBAB 1980-1983 WAQY 1984 WXLS 1978-1979 WHUS 1975-1979

Thanks for the memories!! Played marimba (like a tenor xylophone), of all things, on WBRY's Uncle Don show in the early 50s; hung around WBRY and WATR as a late '50s teenager -- Lou Dennis, Al Vestro, Sam Elman, and a very cranky talk show host on WATR -- and went on to WHUS at UConn when it was more fun than business. Other faves were WDRC, WTIC (Who can forget Bob Steele?), WAVZ, WWCO and WQXR. Captain Midnight; Dragnet; One Man's Family; The Lone Ranger; Doctor Christian, The Buster Brown Show; (Dare I say it?) Amos 'n Andy; Let's Pretend; Kaltenborn, Heatter, Winchell, Murrow, Don McNeil, Paul Whiteman, Ted Mack, The Army Air Force Band, R&B, blues, 50s quartets, bubble gum, rock and roll (not "rock"), elevator music, Gershwin/Ravel, Classics (hadn't yet discovered country/bluegrass yet); thanks, Radio, for bringing me up right. The Lord alone knows what happened to ya' from there.

Your WWCO history of the late 1950s and early 1960s needs a bit of correction. The 65 Bank Street location was on the 5th and 6th floors of that building, not the 3rd & 4th as stated in the history. I started there in the spring of 1959 as a vacation relief DJ and returned each summer vacation (from college) until 1962 when I became the station's first full-time News Director ( a 1-man News Department.) The boss was owner Herb Bloomberg. Bob Rouge was the long-time afternoon DJ. Bill Flower
