WDFH

The history of WDFH goes back to 1968 when they were an ultra-low power Part 15 station operating legally without a license.  This continued until 1982 when they started to be heard on television as background on the local cable system's bulletin board channels.  Broadcasting at 90.3 FM began in 1995, was interrupted for almost a year in 1997, and then continued until 2013 when they became part of New York Public Radio.  WDFH stood for either (W) Dobbs Ferry High or Wild Dogs From Hell depending on who you talk to.  They were licensed to Ossining, New York.  The 250-watt station is now WQXW and rebroadcasts the Classical music of NYPR's WQXR.
