Part 15 "call letters"

I am glad someone read my war stories. We had the right people. The ham person was Jim Weaver, K8JE, who is still active in ARRL and ARES activities and who has earned my respect and gratitude for all he did to help me and others.

I've always given my station calls
103.9 = WCFR (stands for "We're CF's Rock station"
102.7 = WWRO (I've used these off and on, old call letters of Arrow 100.7 from Pensacola FL (Now WJLQ))
I always try to come up with the calls after i have the name
WWRO ofcourse came when my station was online only in the namesake of Arrow 100.7
WXFQ - The Fox
WDGO - The Dingo
WWRO again - 93 Rock
WWRO yet again, after i moved it to 103.9 and changed the name to the Wolf
and WRCF "We Rock CF" until i found a WRCF-LP<P ID="signature">______________
