Other Information	Thanks to James D Asher for the gracious tour of this classic station. Unfortunatley the station was sold right before we got this tour and the new owners will most likely get rid of these studios and the community service this station brings Quincy. I wish James the best in his "next life" out of broadcasting!

WJDA's tower was lit at one time, however a recent FAA ruling allows the tower to be unlit. Here is the beacon from  that tower.

 

WJDA's main on air control studio.

While we were there, a live talk show was featuring a local high schools culinary program, where students got to talk about their program and food they make at their local school. Local radio at it's best!
