"Took a great tour today of Harwich's newest natural wonder - the recently cleared "hollow" at Brooks Park - towering spruce trees ring an ancient dried kettle pond - a perfect place for meditation and a natural amphitheater for music. It's an energy vortex in Harwich Center. "



Jennifer
"We used to have a lot of fun playing capture the flag in the hollow when I was a kid. It's a great place! After tennis lessons, I would go to the "hallow", and write poetry in a serene environment. "


Allin
"We used to go sledding down the hills in winter time, hang out with our friends during the adults bandstand. In summer time it was often 20 degrees cooler under the canopy of spruce and hardwood trees, and we would go to "Love's Hollow" to with our dates to make-out. It was the riteS of passage, sacred place from our youths."

WOMR / WFMR Wow! Further Most Radio Recycles Call Sign which hails from Milwalkee, Wisconsin


WFMR  is the new call sign for WOMR  for the Brewster Repeater Antenna which soon will broadcast locally  from Brewster, Massachusetts on Cape Cod!   These letters have a great history- WFMR, came from Milwaukee, Wisconsin where is was a classical music station for 51 years. 

WFMR then meant Fine Music Radio, so perhaps we can see if on Cape Cod we can recycle not only the call letters, but also be make WFMR Further Most Radio for a few days each September as,  Folk Music Radio when we encourage local grown music and musicians to come back home to Cape Cod when this first year's festival unfolds in Hollow of Harwich.

WFMR was a classical music station that existed on three different FM frequencies in the Milwaukee area during its 51-year history. Its last frequency was 106.9 MHz.

Originally at 96.5 on the FM dial, WFMR signed on the air with a classical music format on June 26, 1956 from the Bayshore Shopping Center in Glendale. The next year, the studios moved to downtown Milwaukee. A subsequent move put the studios on the north side of the city, at 711 W. Capitol Drive.

In 1983, the station was sold and was flipped to an adult contemporary format. The owner of a radio station in suburban Menomonee Falls, WXJY (98.3 FM), immediately picked up the classical format and WFMR call letters, and it remained there at that frequency until December 12, 2000, when owner Saga Communications moved WFMR to the 106.9 FM dial position, and WJMR-FM's urban AC format and call letters to 98.3. 

This was done primarily to boost WJMR-FM's signal in the urban areas of Milwaukee, and to target WFMR toward the Western and Northern suburbs. Saga moved the studios to Milwaukee the year before, in 1999.

During its time as a classical music station, WFMR was a four-time finalist for the National Association of Broadcasters' Marconi Award for Classical Station of the Year, and celebrated its 50th year as a classical station in 2006.

At midnight on June 26, 2007, ironically on the 51st anniversary of its original sign-on, WFMR ended its classical music format when it flipped to a smooth jazz format. The decision was made when a rival station, WJZI, dropped the format a week earlier for light adult contemporary music. Ironically, just days after the flip, KING-FM/Seattle posted a banner on the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal website telling listeners that they have a new place to turn to for Classical by going to their website.

On July 15, 2007, the station changed its call sign to WJZX.[1] The call sign passed in early 2008 to WOMR Provincetown, Massachusetts to be used as a repeater for WOMR.
