This raises some interesting questions, since WHP didn't move to its 
present 580 facility until after WWII; before that, it was on 1430/1460.

I suspect the answer to the question may come in the form of a book: 
longtime WHP CE Tim Portzline just wrote a "Harrisburg Radio" volume for 
Arcadia, and I've been meaning to get my hands on a copy anyway.
