WOAS-FM will be on spring break the last week of March – see you back on www-woas-fm.org as we await the delivery of our new tower bays so we can get back to over the air broadcasting at 91.5 fm in June! Have a safe ‘spring’ break! Thank you to Citizens State Bank for the […]
We all learned the rhyme at some point in our schooling: Fourteen hundred ninety two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue. For far too many years, our history classes were fixated on giving Christopher Columbus credit for being the first to discover the Americas.

Well kids – we have worked out the logistics for our new tower bays and we have just about enough money to cover the order. That is the good news. The bad news (of course there is always bad with the good) is we may not be able to install them until June – if […]
With a couple of notable Lunar events taking place in March, let us start this AstroCal by focusing on our neighbor. The Full Moon will take place on March 14 and bears the curious name of The Worm Moon. It is so named because this month, “the earthworms start to appear in the soil […]

I am not just talking about high profile shows with the band Triumph, but various anecdotes going all the way […]
Okay – now I sound like the Mandarin in Iron Man 3 – what I mean to say, is WOAS-FM has been granted a new home at 91.5 FM – unfortunately our old tower elements are tuned to our old frequency – and they are over forty years old. We COULD broadcast at 15 watts without […]
AstroCal – February 2025 February 1 finds us 41 days away from the shortest daylight / longest night we experience on the December 21 Winter Solstice. Temperatures and weather patterns lag behind the official onset of winter that begins when we have the least amount of sunshine falling on our latitude. The Earth […]
There are plenty of rock stars out there who climb to the top of their profession by being outrageous, bombastic, colorful, and sometimes, just plain weird. Sure, there has to be enough talent on board for one to write and/or perform music, but it seems like some are trying a little too hard to […]
