WSPR (AM)
WSPR (1490 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to West Springfield, Massachusetts, and serving the Springfield metropolitan area. The station is owned by John Fuller, through licensee Red Wolf Broadcasting Corporation. It airs a Spanish tropical and contemporary hit radio format known as Bomba FM. WSPR programming is also heard on 250-watt FM translator station 104.5 W283CK, West Springfield. Much of the programming originates at WMRQ- HD2 in Hartford, Connecticut, which also feeds a network of FM translator stations around Connecticut. History The station first signed on the air on August 28, 1949. Its call sign was originally WTXL. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, WTXL aired a Top 40 format. Although it was programmed well, it never achieved rating success due to the heavy competition from crosstown WHYN (560 AM). With a 5,000-watt signal and much lower on the AM dial, WHYN could easily be heard around Western Massachusetts and northern Connecticut. WTXL ...

WACM (AM)
WACM (1270 AM) is a radio station licensed to serve Springfield, Massachusetts, United States. The station is owned by John Fuller, through licensee Red Wolf Broadcasting Corporation. It airs an oldies music format, simulcasting WSKP 1180 AM Hope Valley, RI. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the station had a Top 40 format. Later decades, the station had a talk/news approach before its current format. The station was assigned the WSPR call letters by the Federal Communications Commission in 1936. On April 12, 2016, it changed its call sign to the current WACM.

WSPR (amateur Radio Software)
WSPR (pronounced "whisper") is an acronym for ''Weak Signal Propagation Reporter''. It is a protocol, implemented in a computer program, used for weak-signal radio communication between amateur radio operators. The protocol was designed, and a program written initially, by Joe Taylor, K1JT. The software code is now open source and is developed by a small team. The program is designed for sending and receiving low-power transmissions to test propagation paths on the MF and HF bands. WSPR implements a protocol designed for probing potential propagation paths with low-power transmissions. Transmissions carry a station's callsign, Maidenhead grid locator, and transmitter power in dBm. The program can decode signals with a signal-to-noise ratio as low as −28 dB in a 2500 Hz bandwidth. Stations with internet access can automatically upload their reception reports to a central database called WSPRnet, which includes a mapping facility. The WSPR Protocol The type ...
