[RVRC] Armstrong Radio, original FM station QRV.....

[Marvin Bronstein]

The original Edwin Armstrong's FM Broadcast Radio frequency will once again be ''ON THE AIR"!  Before 88 ~ 108MHz was authorized, the FM broadcast band was just below 6 meters.  Here, once again, in commemoration of Edwin Armstrong, 42.8 MC (MHz) will be on the air.  Tune in and enjoy a replication of history!
