I remember there was a WDOG back at the end of the 1980's or thereabouts. I lost interest around that time and didn't get back into listening again until 2013. Hmmm....any other oldtimers remember this one?
Thanks for the detective work Chris Smolinski! Seems this was a short lived station! Mentioned in the show was a test broadcast in 1987. This show is different than the following link. Good to hear these old shows! :)

Here's a short excerpt from my recording last night - in between the QRM blast at my QTH, the signal was pretty good.
