There was another shortwave station that I believe was located in 
Boston at one time called WRUL.  I believe it still existed in the 
early 1960s.  It eventually was sold and became WNYW -- Radio New 
York Worldwide -- and I actually heard it in that incarnation.  I 
don't know what happened to it after that.  Can Donna or anyone else 
fill us in on that one?
