==========================
Sad announcement:
It's the end of an era.....after 71 years, WLO will go off the air at 11:59CDT (0459UTC) on 01July2018. A few automated systems/services will continue but there will no longer be 24/7 operators on duty at the Mobile, AL stations.
Thank you everyone that liked and commented on this page. I will keep the page up for a while longer.

I can remember decoding their SITOR-B broadcasts before Shipcom bought them out - used to be an easy catch and a regular visitor to my shack. Very sad to see this go
