This entry was precipitated by a poster I picked up at a flea market a week
ago Saturday for the "Chuck Wagon Opera" on W9XBY. W9XBY was one of four
"Amateur" Hi-Fi AM experimental broadcast stations licensed by the FCC in
1933. The poster looks like it's for a commercial station but the call is
strictly amateur. In 1933 Missouri was in the 9th call area and the first
letter of the prefix 'X' for experimental.
The four stations were:
W1XBS, American-Republican, Waterbury, Connecticut
W2XR, John V. L. Hogan, Long Island City, New York
W6XAI, Pioneer Mercantile Co., Bakersfield, California
W9XBY, First National Television, Inc., Kansas City
