The first radio station at Michigan State University was established through the efforts of the
Amateur Radio Club in 1919 using the call letters of 8YG - broadcasting weather reports and
farm market prices. In 1925 8YG became WKAR, the public broadcast station of Michigan State
University, while a ham radio station was formed using the call letters 8XBU. In 1927 the call
8SH was issued to the amateur radio station. Today the MSU Amateur Radio Club
operatesW8SH and W8MSU from the campus in East Lansing.
