WWMK 1260 to St Peter The Rock Media

It seems Catholic groups are trying to make up for lost time, when in past years they let Protestant groups dominate the radio dial. I wasn't aware of St. Peter The Rock as a Catholic broadcasting organization. But apparently they came up with the nearly $1 million to buy 1260.
 
If they could have sold it to Dwayne Johnson The Rock instead of St. Peter The Rock, we might have something truly unique to listen to.
 
Kind of interesting. When i ran Gore Broadcasting, we bought this from Terry Jacobs... Combined sites, got a power increase, sold it to a Catholic group, they let it fall apart and Mickey bought it.
Then, it resells back to another Catholic broadcaster at a drastically reduced rate.
The cycle continues....

Hey, I used to work for Gore-Overgaard! I was on WRDZ the first day it was on the air.

Anyway, I appears that the "mouse" has left the house. 1260 is silent for at least the past 2 days. I wonder what the new call letters will be? Nighttime makes for interesting listening on 1260, hearing all the distant 1260's coming in.

When I was at WRDZ we received packages from "Lapland". A couple of DX'ers picked us up "200 miles north of the Arctic Circle" (Brrrr). The cassettes were ripped from the packages before they arrived. They wanted QSL cards from us.
 
Thanks for the heads-up. I tune to 1260 every day in my car waiting for their signal to light up. In the meantime I listen after sunset to hear DX. I believe there were ~24 stations in the U.S. on 1260. The only one I could make out was a 1 kw station from the Grand Rapids area. What ever happened to the Indianapolis and Erie stations? Erie may have gone dark.
