WOWO was a blowtorch in NC when I was growing up (1960s).

Speaking of 'blowtorches'......I could hear WLW as a child in Pisgah....say
1970 (down the road from the antenna setup) without aid of a radio.

That is NO lie. Now that's a 'blowtorch'....and my Grandpa and Grandma and my
Dad talked about how they could hear it in certain places of the house.

You hear stories like this from old-timers who lived in the Pisgah area or by
the VOA site ALL the time.
