::::Oh, agreed. I think Aschlafly is misreading the situation by suggesting that Wisconsin is a deeply conservative state: farmers are ornery and don't fit all that neatly onto a bipolar liberal/conservative scale. And while I'm sure there's a town/gown division, I doubt that it goes very deep.  WIsconsin is not like, say, New Jersey where you have a big-deal private university and a big-deal public university. In Wisconsin, there are some good small schools like Beloit and Marquette, but basically the University of Wisconsin overshadows everything else. University of Wisconsin students come from Wisconsin, mostly, and the University of Wisconsin is where Wisconsin sends its kids, mostly. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 15:32, 26 April 2007 (EDT)

It hardly matters much, as WHA's place in history is secure. The claim or slogan or whatever it is that is on the plaque, however, says simply "The Oldest Station in the Nation." Broadcasting is implied, but not stated, so we shouldn't state it, either. I'm not sure who questions it or why but I'd guess it turns on the question of exactly what a broadcast is and so forth. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 14:47, 26 April 2007 (EDT) Ah. Found it. The rival is Pittsburgh's KDKA. I should have thought of that.
