Yes, I listened to them on my trip in May, I didn't even realize it was WELY until I was heading home. I kept wondering what is this clear radio channel that I never got before. They must have been testing out equipment then and never identified, or I surely would have known. Think it was mostly music.

I have enjoyed WELY while in town. Glad it is back. I always search for a channel in Wi playing polka on my way back to iI. Rock on!

Did you all see that WELY is back on the air? For now broadcasting at 103.9 while they repair their transmitter. I did happy little polka dance this morning with my embarrassed kids :)

Yay. I looked for it in June, but it wasn't on. I loved listening to the daily bulletin board. Weather reports too, but now the Garmin does that too.

I do the same! Something about driving through Wisconsin lends itself to hearing polkas.
