KLAP
Klappy, the hand-for-a-head station mascot of 89.5 KLAP in Gerlach, Nevada may not be as well known as the KGB Chicken or WMMS's buzzard but it really should be. KLAP plays all kinds of stuff including Rock, Jazz, Folk, Reggae, Cajun, Latin, Dixieland and Country--a similar music mix to the legendary KPIG who's former program director founded the KLAP.

CIDC
"Z103.5" is a Rhythmic-leaning CHR station licensed to Orangeville, Ontario. CIDC went on the air in 1987 playing 70s & 80s hits as "DC103.5" with 50,000 watts and an antenna located on the highest spot in southern Ontario. The DC stood for Dufferin Communications who were the original owners. They flipped their branding to "Hits 103.5" in the late 1990s and in 2000 changed again to "Z103.5" in imitation of New York City's "Z100" WHTZ (along with a similar logo). CIDC targets the Greater Toronto Area despite its Orangeville, Ontario city-of-license (a good 40 or so miles away from their studios in a western part of Toronto).

Hot FM
A bit of a mystery sticker here from Germany's Hot FM. A Google search for "Mein Radio lebt!" brought up the website address www.hot-fm.de which now redirects to "Radio Galaxy". The three letter abbreviations seem to match some cities in Bavaria's Upper Franconia region.

A flip to Top-40 occurred in 1977 and Adult Contemporary took over in 1980. Soon after they started simulcasting Howard Stern's WWDC-FM morning show with separate programming in other dayparts.

Minster Oktoberfest / Radio Maria
Last night we took a trip up to Minster, Ohio for their annual Oktoberfest. We put on our alpine hats, bought our jugs of beer to eat with some bratwurst and enjoyed walking around the shops and listening to the polka band playing from a gazebo in the center of town. After scarfing down a pudding-filled cream puff and singing along to Sweet Caroline we decided two hours was enough and headed home.
On our way back to the car we walked past the studios of radio station 88.7 WHJM (With the Hearts of Jesus and Mary). Licensed to Anna, Ohio, WHJM airs Catholic programming as part of the worldwide Radio Maria group of stations. WHJM went on the air in June, 2006 and was almost immediately knocked off the air when lightning struck its tower. They returned to the air in August of that year. Radio Maria is based in Italy and broadcasts in over 60 countries through approximately 1,700 transmitters.
