    Add WROV Roanoke Va to Murph’s list of stations he worked at. He is a member of our WROV yahoo group and listed on our website. And he is a personal friend of mine. When he was on AM WTAR in Norfolk VA, I was on the sister FM WLTY as “The Real Steve Kelly”.

    Any of your VA stations reach into Charleston, WV? Passing thought. How about night time propagation? Thanks!!!
