At 90.3 on the dial we occasionally splattered into Fordhm's WFUV at 90.7.

Much of our programming was aimed primarily at 'in-school' listening for Nassau County.

It was run entirely by students.

The station went on the air in 1947, but was closed down years ago.

The call-letters are being used by Sheboygan High School's WSHS 91.7 FM, Sheboygan, Wi.

"Mention my name in Sheboygan..." Never mind - only "Bob and Ray" fans would understand.

The tower was taken down, and most of the equipment went to C.W. Post College on Long Island. "Radio House" is now used to store sports equipment.

Sewanhaka now has a television studio. Radio was more fun.

The New York Times came out and did a picture story. Mechanics Illustrated also did an article. The house picture above is from that article.

A few weeks before I graduated High School I sent an audio disk of some of my work to an ad in Broadcasting Magazine.

A short time later I was on a train from NYC to NC.

A year later I returned to the Triple Cities to work for WKOP and hosted the area's most popular record show, Moonlight Serenade. A couple of years later I was invited down the street to do WINR's all night show, Night Club.

I was known in the Triple Cities as David Michael Potts. I had been a big fan of William B. Williams in those days. He was on WNEW in NY and I liked the idea of using all three names and started using my complete name.

When I got the first chance to use my name on TV - that was at WAGA-TV in Atlanta - I almost said the full name, but blurted out Dave Michaels. I could actually hear voices from the control room screaming, "Who?" I changed my name on the air and I don't know why.

My Binghamton radio years were great fun and I was free to play my favorite music, imagining myself working at WNEW in NYC - a gig I never got. But, while working at WMAL in Washington, a group of Executive Trainees from the station came to me and said they enjoyed listening to me because I reminded them of the guys on their favorite station, WNEW-AM in NY. So there!

I left WINR to join WGBB on Long Island. Old schoolmate, Edward Brown, was helping put together a L.I. version of WNEW. Later, Ed joined WNEW, and was there for years broadcasting News.

Ed has built a wonderful web site about that Grand Ole Radio Station - WNEW 1130. (Tap here)

But, with my military obligation hanging over my head, and unsure about what I wanted to do in the future I volunteered for the draft. About this time I was thinking seriously about attending the Pasadena Playhouse to study film acting.

I was soon in uniform. After training at a garden spot called Ft. Dix the Army sent me to Fort Jackson, Columbia, SC. A short time later I had the great and good fortune to be sent to Fort McPherson, Third Army Headquarters in Atlanta. They needed my MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) at the 3rd Army Public Information Office as a Broadcast Specialist. Fort 'Mac' was a choice assignment.

Somewhere during my service years I gave up the acting idea and concentrated on Television.

While in service I worked nights at Georgia Tech's ABC affiliate, WGST Radio. A great station with a terrific staff. Today it's owned by Clear Channel and is about the 17th rated station in town. They haven't a clue!

When I got out of service I became a Staff Announcer at the Storer Station WAGA-TV in Atlanta.

Between stints at Channel-5 I worked for a couple of years at WMAL Radio -TV in Washington, D.C.
