What We Are

WILW Radio was founded by William C. Walker and Drew Papanek Jr. in 1978 as a community radio station in the Hartford, CT suburb of Simsbury. Fast forward to 2009 and now WILW Radio provides a variety of services to legal community AM radio broadcasters. 

WILW Radio is now nationally recognized for its work in both the proposed licensed LPAM radio service and Part 15 AM radio service. From our origins as a high school radio station during the late 1970s and early 1980's WILW Radio has grown into a group committed to fostering the growth of legal unlicensed and licensed low power, community broadcasting throughout the United States.

What We Do

We sell the Hamilton Rangemaster transmitter and offer additional services to our customers after the sale such as installation, support and syndicated programming choices.
