I miss the days of Service-Six and all their drop-in spots in the 
60s.  "Theodore Bulbhead on Flowers for Service 6", always got my attention 
:) For those unfamiliar, these were not jokes but regular informational 
spots aired on the station.  I have to agree, WICC's signal is excrllent 
for a 1,000 watter. Dial position is the deciding factor.  If it were 
relegated to a higher position, it never would have achieved its success 
through the years.
