WHA (AM)
WHA (970 kHz) is a non-commercial AM radio station licensed to Madison, Wisconsin. It is owned by the University of Wisconsin and serves as the flagship of Wisconsin Public Radio's talk-based "Ideas Network." The call letters are also used for WHA-TV channel 21 (20 digital), the flagship of the Wisconsin Public Television network.
A plaque at the University of Wisconsin–Madison calls it the "oldest station in the nation." Though this claim was refuted by 1920s WHA-AM manager Earle M. Terry who considered KDKA in Pittsburgh to be the oldest.
History
Experiments with spark gap transmitters stretch back to 1900. Professor Edward Bennett started using the call sign 9XM in 1914. A year later, the call sign was transferred to the University of Wisconsin and used for many experiments in the Physics department. Professor Earle M. Terry managed many of these tests, and he eventually decided that the station should start making regular weather broadcasts. From December 4, 1916 onward, the station transmitted regular reports in Morse code.

Naked Flame
by: BbmThere's a place in my heart where you used to be
There's a pain, deep inside, don't want the world to see
Nothing, but emptiness, once there was your caress
I was touched by your naked flame
Now, it was hard sometimes, those things that we went through
But believe me when I'd say, I would never mean to hurt you
I hold the memory of holding you next to me
In my arms like a naked flame
Think it over before you break my heart
Think it over before the crying starts
Then we can say goodbye to the tears
I should have known that this time was a coming
But if you ever need me, I'll come a running home to you
There's a place in my dreams where we used to meet
But there's no one around now, it's just an empty street
I hold the memory of holding you close to me
In my arms, like a naked flame
