On 12 October 2017, Several members of the Saint Maximilian Kolbe Net visited Our Lady of Czestochowa Shrine in Doylestown, PA (suburban Philadelphia). We gathered for dinner on Wednesday night and on Thursday, 12 October, we were escorted by Father Jozef Olczak, a Pauline Father, for a complete tour of the shrine. We attended Mass at 11:30 AM in what was reported to be a replica of the actual sanctuary of the church in Czestochowa, Poland. After lunch, we enjoyed a guided tour of Holy Spirit Radio WISP-AM, Catholic Radio for Philadelphia, 5,000 watts on 1570 AM and WCOJ-1420-AM 5,000 watts for the western suburbs. The group toured the studios, transmitter room and antenna array. It was a terrific opportunity to put faces on our radio friends. As Bill, K3RMW put it, “We saw friends we'd never met!” Those who attended: Marty KK4RF & XYL Chatte, Mike W1MCT, Bill K3RMW, Bill W1WH and XYL Jane, Ted W1JMJ & XYL Maryellen & Lloyd K3QNT & XYL Jacquie. Big thanks to Dale & Jane Meier & son-in-law Frank of Holy Spirit Radio WISP & WCOJ for the excellent tour.
