This had to be one of the best top 40 stations I ever heard way back when. I was stationed at Camp Pickett way out west of Richmond near Blackstone Virginia. Still reeling from being in Nam, I was stationed at Pickett the summer of 1973 just waiting until my enlistment was up. Living in Philadelphia we never had a top 40 station in FM stereo. I remember the summer of 1973 the liners were this is WRVQ summer rerun time with Bill Garcia, these guys were fun to listen to. I remember calling Bill and asking him about the station and where I was and how far I was from Richmond he told me they were broadcasting with 275,000 watts which floored me never knew a station could use that much power. If it were not for them I dont think I would of made it after being in the war it sounds funny but just laying in my bunk listening to that station made me feel good and gave me hope stupid as it sounds. My question now is are they still using all that power, are they still a tight top 40 station, how do they sound, is Bill Garcia still around...thanks for reading.
