WSAJ (AM)

[7] He used these to construct a transmitter that was awarded first place in the "$100 Radiophone Prize Contest" run by Radio Amateur News, and the equipment was reviewed in depth in a 3-page article in that magazine's May 1920 issue.

[4] In addition to using his station for individual communication with amateur radio operators, in late March 1920 Harmon began making nightly concert broadcasts.

[8][9] A particularly celebrated broadcast followed on April 26, when the president of the college, Dr. Weir C. Ketler, addressed a noonday Rotary Club luncheon which was being held 25 miles (40 km) away in New Castle.

On November 29, 1922, the college was issued a license for a new AM broadcasting station, operating on the wavelength of 360 meters (833 kilohertz), with the sequentially assigned call letters of WSAJ.

Because of its low power the carrier current station did not require a license from the Federal Communications Commission or qualify for officially issued call letters.

Because of WSAJ's limited signal and its short (three-hour-per-week) FCC authorized broadcast schedule, it was determined that the cost to replace the equipment was too great for the benefit provided to the college and the listening community.

In 2004, newly installed college president Richard G. Jewell and chairman of the board David Rathburn, himself a WSAJ alumnus, instituted policy changes which allowed student broadcasting to return to the more powerful FM station.
