Does Indianapolis have a Short Wave Station

Something in the far reaches of the playground of my mind recalls that LeSea broadcasting (Lester Summerall Evangelistc Association)
did operate a short wave station from Indiana years ago. Today their transmitters are in Maine, South Carolina and Palau. LeSea is based in South Bend and I know Scott Fybush had something about their South Bend facilities not too long ago on TSotW

If you read through the links you get the impression that divine providence provided the transmission equipment they use.

And if YOU would like to go world wide....EBay has just the ticket!

Someone call my name? ;D

Yup, the LeSEA folks operated WHRI from a site in Noblesville from 1985 until 2003, when they bought what had been the SW operations of the Christian Science Monitor in Maine and South Carolina. WHRI was turned off in Noblesville and moved to the South Carolina site.

Scott.

Thanks for the link. The QSL's and the interval signals posted the Garlinger site bring back a lot of memories.

I was lucky enough to have a high school best friend who was also into SWL'ing and MW DX'ing, and we spent many hours listening. Even back in the early 60's, much of the world was still exotic & for most, inaccessible. I was a geography nut, so SWL'ing was a natural for me.

I had forgotten about the WHRI SW site in Indy, which I did visit on one of my frequent returns to my hometown, Indianapolis.
