*In anticipation of a format switch under owner Newsweb Corp., WAIT-AM
(850)
changes call letters today to WCPT (for "Chicago's Progressive Talk").
Picking up WAIT's call letters is Newsweb's WSCN-AM (820).
As tipped here in February, expect an announcement any day that the
suburban
daytime station will become a showcase for the liberal voices of Air
America
Radio's Al Franken, Jerry Springer and Randi Rhodes along with Jones
Radio
Networks' Ed Schultz. "

I used to pick up WAIT in the early 1970s when I lived in Reeseville WI
near
Waterloo. Weren't they originally the station on 820? They had a fairly
decent signal back then.

820 is 820. 850 is 850. Just the call letters have moved around. 850 is a
horrible signal.

I just checked out the changes on 820 while surfing and searching. I don't
remember 850 whem I was AM DXing many, many eons ago.

Sad to hear about WCKY. That was another of my old favorites from the late
1950s. I was using a (military B-17) Belmont BC-348R receiver back then
when I did a lot of 160 and 80 meter DXing as a ham, and I would tune in the
Rainey Family on CKY for a change of pace. One of their most frequent
recordings was "We need a whole lot more of Jesus, and a whole lot less of
rock and roll."

Oops! Spelled Raney wrong. And almost got the name of the song right.

However, I found the lyrics to that tune:
http://www.cowboylyrics.com/tabs/dav...esus-6709.html

Artist/Band: Davis Skeeter Tabs, Guitar Chords
Song: We Need More Of Jesus Tab

WE NEED A WHOLE LOT MORE OF JESUS (And A Lot Less Rock And Roll)
Recorded by: Skeeter Davis
Written by: Wayne Raney CAPO: 1st FRET/KEY: G#/PLAY: G
[G] You can read it in the mornin' paper
[C] Hear it on the radio
Crime is sweepin' our [G] nation
This world is about to [D7] go
We need a [G] good old case of salvation
To put the [C] love of God in our soul
We need a whole lot more of [G] Jesus
And a [D7] lot less rock and [G] roll.
We need more old-time camp meetin's
Lots more prayers of faith
Faith that will move mountains
Save our soul from the burning wave
We need a good old case of salvation
To put the love of God in our souls
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll.
We need more old-fashioned preachers
Pourin' out their hearts in prayer
When you are in their presence
You know that the Lord is there
We need a nation-wide revival
To put the love of God in our soul
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll. TAG:
[G] We need a [C] whole lot more of [G] Jesus
And a [D7] lot less rock and [G] roll.

With OK reception in DT Chicago, even on a walkman. Should be OK in
WISC.
