History
[edit]WYKR went on the air October 3, 1976, under the ownership of Eugene and Harold Puffer, doing business as the Puffer Brothers.[5][6] The station's studios were located in the former Wells River Graded School.[5] Harold Puffer left the station in 1981 to return to the insurance business; the following year, Eugene Puffer—who had previously worked at WCVR in Randolph—transferred WYKR's license to a new company, Puffer Broadcasting.[5] WYKR was a 1,000-watt station at 1490 kHz until 1987, when it moved to 1100 kHz and boosted power to 5,000 watts.[5]
In the late 1980s, Puffer Broadcasting obtained a construction permit for an FM station at 101.3 MHz, with the intent of simulcasting WYKR's country music programming.[5] The new station was assigned the WYKR-FM call sign by the Federal Communications Commission on November 10, 1988,[7] and went on the air February 19, 1990.[8] The AM station changed its call sign from WYKR to WTWN, for "Twin State",[2] on April 16, 1999;[9] by June 2000, WTWN was a Christian radio station.[10]
Puffer Broadcasting sold WYKR-FM and WTWN to Joshua Smith, through his Yankee Kingdom Media Corp., for $125,000 in 2023; the stations' towers, which the Puffers had separately held through Mill Street Enterprises, were also concurrently acquired by Smith.[11]

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.
