DZRL (639 AM) Radyo Ronda is a radio station owned and operated by the Radio Philippines Network. Its studios, offices, and transmitter are located at the RPN Bldg., National Highway, Brgy. Caunayan, Batac. It is the pioneer AM radio station in the province.[1][2][3][4]
History
[edit]DZRL is the first radio station in Ilocos Norte established in 1959. It was first located at Bueno Bldg. in Laoag until 1971.
In 1972, when Martial Law was implemented, Kanlaon Broadcasting System took over the ownership of the station and relocated it Mangapit Bldg. in Batac, in front of Eureka High School, equipped with a brand new NEC transmitter. At that time, the said city was the fastest growing municipality in the province. The following year, DZRL transferred to its current home at Brgy. Caunayan, Batac, which is a stone's throw away from the Batac Campus of the Mariano Marcos State University.
DZRL is the only radio station in the province whose operation was not disrupted during Martial Law, making it as the most listened to radio station in the province at that time.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
