  • WMAF, known as "The Voice From Way Down East", was a radio broadcasting station licensed to "Colonel" Ned Green's Round Hills Radio Corporation in South Dartmouth, Massachusetts from September 1922 until 1931. In the summer of 1923 it began rebroadcasting programs originating from station WEAF in New York City, which is generally considered to be first sustained radio network connection in the United States. Although WMAF was very well-financed and used state-of-the-art equipment, the station had a limited broadcasting career, largely ending its broadcasts after 1928. Even when active it normally operated only during the summer months. (en)
