WSAJ was one of the earliest AM educational radio stations, licensed November 29, 1922 – January 30, 2006 to Grove City College in Grove City, Pennsylvania. The station traced its founding to broadcasts made over "Technical and Training School" station 8YV, which began in March 1920.
WSAJ broadcast from Rockwell Science Hall on the college campus. The station was one of the last to use a horizontal longwire antenna, which in WSAJ's case was strung between 2 wooden poles, instead of more modern vertical tower radiators.[2][3]
