Not just because I'm obstinate but because their claim is entirely based around having a license. they didn't have the first broadcast, not the first regular program schedule, and not the first 24hr day. Their license is first, let their be no doubt.. but their first is smack dab in the middle of a long line of other more impressive firsts.Jose Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688454434303787206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13401748.post-50009176726320786992008-02-13T14:21:00.000-05:002008-02-13T14:21:00.000-05:00She didn't make it up, but she got information mix...She didn't make it up, but she got information mixed up. <BR/><BR/><I>Arkansas Airwaves</I> has information about 5YM which I used when doing a history of the Amateur Radio Club of the University of Arkansas - see <A HREF="http://w5ym.org/history.html" REL="nofollow">W5YM history</A>.<BR/><BR/>However, there is <B>NO</B> evidence that 5YM became KFMQ (later KUOA). I'm sure there were students and profs that worked on both, but to say that one lead to the other isn't supported by the facts.<BR/><BR/>Regardless, there was no clear line between amateur and broadcast stations before KDKA went on the air.plawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456499491316855895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13401748.post-1128739504983250032005-10-07T22:45:00.000-04:002005-10-07T22:45:00.000-04:00update.
