I didn't do the research on this, but I did check their list twice. And rearranged it into chronological order. It's a list of the first licensed radio stationin each state. Well all know KDKA, and WQAM, and WBZ but the rest are surprises. Also surprising is how long some states took to get it together. It's very interesting, and the rest of the National Radio Club website is also well worth the browsing.http://www.nrcdxas.org/
