Anybody know about WYAR, Yarmouth

B

Just cruising through lists of stations and came across WYAR run by the Heritage Radio Society centering on mostly originals of music recorded from 1900 to 1960. Supposedly they have thousands of cleaned up recordings mostly running via computer.

It seems a very odd format. They don't stream so unless they start streaming I doubt I'd ever get to hear them since I'm in the Houston area.

Anybody know about them? Do they have any listeners...seems they'd hit about 300,000 in their listening area.

Would love to learn about the station.

Thanks.
 
They are indeed on the air, and I often listen to them while in the Portland area. Their signal isn't great, and only in mono. They transmit from a small antenna on a house on Cousins Island, just over the bridge from Yarmouth. You can hear them in Portland with a good radio and antenna, and driving up I-295 they last until just north of the Brunswick exits; once you cross the Androscoggin River, into Topsham, they are gone. They also come in fairly well around Casco Bay and over to Harpswell along the bay-facing shoreline. They are licensed for 1000 watts.
