[Boatanchors] Whither SWL'ing...?

[Bob Peters]

Ok Harold here you go with that call:

WRNO (also known as WRNO Worldwide) was a
commercial shortwave radio station which began
international broadcasting on 18 February 1982 [1]
and continued broadcasting through the early 1990s
from Metairie, Louisiana. These call letters are
still in use by the New Orleans station WRNO-FM;
both were founded and originally owned by Joseph
Costello III.

It is no longer a SW Station and when it was it
was in Metairie, La... As you can see it is now an
AM/FM Combo out of New Orleans...

GOOGLE is such a vast world of information gotta
love it.. Look up your own call sign cannot be any
skeletons in the closet... If it was on Internet
Google has it,... Be careful folks...

Does anyone know where WRNO transmitters are
located? My QTH is Northeast 
Georgia and I live just South of the Tennessee
line. There is an AM 
Christian Bdcast station just above me but don't
recall the call letters.
