The WHFS 99.1 Precursor- WLOM 99.1 The First 2 Days

I took far too long to post this. My good buddy Robbie W. sent me some CD's of the first 2 days of WLOM which would soon become WHFS @99.1FM In Annapolis, MD. 

The below info was copied from wikipedia.

In 1983 the owners of WHFS, then licensed to Bethesda at 102.3 FM, sold that station for $2 million and used the money to purchase WLOM along with and its sister station WNAV (1430 AM). The WHFS format and call letters were then moved to 99.1 FM, licensed to operate with 50,000-watts (Class B FM) with much higher power than the 102.3 facility, which broadcasts with only 3,000 watts (Class A) at the time; a Class A FM is the lowest coverage area as opposed to a Class A AM which is the greatest coverage area. Thus WHFS on 99.1 could then be heard in Baltimore, Washington, and much of the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Eventually Einstein's group sold WHFS. 


I'm listening to part 1 now...pretty dang sweet! Enjoy! And huge thanks again to Robbie!

Each file is 45 minutes long.
