WAVP (1390 AM) is a radio station licensed to Avon Park, Florida. WAVP is owned by Ferris Waller, through licensee Walco Enterprises, LLC, and operates with 1,000 watts day and 77 watts at night. The station is known on-air as Boss Hogg Radio.
History and current status[edit]
WAVP began broadcasting October 1, 1970. In 1992, the owner was Andrew Banas who bought the station for $100,000 in September 1990.[2] The station went silent on October 1, 2009, according to FCC records, but was resurrected in early 2010.
WFHT until January 2015 aired a nationally syndicated talk show lineup that included Neal Boortz, Michael Savage, Mark Levin, and Phil Hendrie Mondays through Fridays, and specialty talk shows on the weekends. WFHT was also an affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays baseball team, the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey team, and NFL and NCAA football games; the former talk station also featured local talk shows. In 2015, WFHT began broadcasting Florida A&M Rattlers football games via the "Rattler Football Network".
From 2015 to 2020, the station broadcast an urban AC–urban contemporary gospel format. This ended when the station was sold to Walco Enterprises and began simulcasting the other three Boss Hogg Radio stations owned by the company, reclaiming the WAVP call sign it had used for most of its history until the mid-2000s.
Translators[edit]
In addition to the main station, WAVP is relayed by an FM translator.

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.
