The FM band; WESX on FM, etc

[Dan Strassberg]

I believe that over its short life, the Lynn station was both WUPY and WUPI.
It started as WUPY but then the owner, a fruitcake named Harvey Sheldon,
received a CP for a full-power FM in Miami. As I recall, he wanted the WUPY
calls there and moved them. He renamed the Lynn station WUPI. Except that he
wasn't a financial adviser, I think Sheldon's bio ultimately became as
interesting as Brad Bleidt's.
