Probably the very first licensed radio station of any kind in Northern Michigan.
Too bad the FCC won't allow someone to use the callsign.
Extensive History of WLC.
http://www.imradioha.org/WLC.htm
Antenna supports. At one time there were several towers and several frequencies used. They left the air in 1997. I remember DXing the higher frequencies used by WLC and the frequent IDs between beeps, above the Marine Band.

Re: WLC Rogers City
Popular legend has it WLC stood for 'World Limestone Center' (which Rogers City was, maybe still is...). WLC was a critical piece of the Great Lakes shipping industry until cellular and satellite communication made it obsolete. Ship-to-shore phone calls were on Channel 26 on marine radios. You NEVER discussed anything too personal or specific if possible...everyone could listen in.
Re: WLC Rogers City
I believe that I heard WLC on 8737.5 kHz or 8759.2 kHz in the late 1960s or early 1970s, in Southeastern Michigan. It was on an old Westinghouse with a long wire antenna and it was near 9 MHz, as imprecise as the dials were in those days.
