[BC] Re: call letters and their slogans

[R J Carpenter]

Since I picked the call ---

WHFS originally stood for Washington's High Fidelity Station but we
decided to go stereo so the meaning morphed to Washington's High
Fidelity Stereo [station] before the station went on the air.

The call has since moved twice to other facilities in the DC /
Annapolis / Baltimore area.  Jake Einstein took the call with him when
he sold 102.3 and then bought 99.1 Annapolis.  Infinity bought 99.1
and recently took it Spanish and moved the call to 105.7
Catonsville/Baltimore.

105.7 is one of "those" allocations.  Nominally full class B, but only
over a narrow angle.  Really deep nulls to protect cochannel full B in
York, PA, only 47 miles away and 105.9 "full B" Woodbridge, VA, (DC)
48 miles away.  Catonsville and Woodbridge are roughly Class A
equivalent toward each other.
