Bob spent some time at WIRJ-AM in Humboldt, TN in the 50s. But, who would want the fact they actually worked at a 250 watter in their obituary? There's a picture of the WIRJ staff in the station's main (only) studio on the Humboldt Facebook page. Bob was a prince of a fellow.

Hey, we all had to start somewhere! 8) They must have had a pretty good signal by the '70s, because I remember being able to pick them up from near Union City.

I must have been "uptown." My first station was a 500-watter! ;D

I followed Bob by about 10 years at WIRJ. As a daytomer with 250 watts and a dial position of 740 kc, we reached Memphis. On frequency check nights even in competition with KRMG in Tulsa we would get QSL cards from CO, UT and NV quite often.

I met Bob years ago when WSVT in Smyrna signed on. He was working there and was the program director (maybe even with an ownership interest--I don't remember). I had heard him for what seemed like years on WSIX and it was neat to meet him. I found him to come across as a kind, gentle, good man. Some years later, when I was working at WSM, he called me one night on the hotline to ask some sort of question about EBS or something. He was working at WAMB at the time. Even on the phone, he was the soul of kindness. I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

Was Bob at WHB during or near the time of Johnny Dolan and Phil Jay? I listened to them
in the mid to late 60's as a kid.
