WHSN (89.3 MHz) is a non-commercial FM radio station broadcasting an alternative rock format. Licensed to Bangor, Maine, the station is owned by Husson University.[2] The station is run by the students of the New England School of Communications, which is located on the campus of Husson University. With its 3,000 watt signal, WHSN is heard around Bangor, Brewer, Old Town and Orono, including on the campus of the University of Maine.[3]
History
[edit]WHSN signed on the air in 1974.[4] The station was run by Husson University from its start until the mid-1980s when NESCom moved from its Broadway campus to the Husson campus. At first, it was powered at 10 watts, audible only around the campus and surrounding neighborhood. It later improved its power to 140 watts. In 2006, the station upgraded its signal to its current 3,000 watts and moved its transmitter to behind the NESCom Building.
In July 2016 WHSN was named a finalist for a Marconi Award for Non-Commercial Station Of The Year.[5]

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.
