 W6P Special Event Station
Route 66 On The Air
September 11 - 19, 2010
Route 66 was created in the mid 1920s. Route 66 covers eight states starting in Chicago and ending at Santa Monica Pier in Los Angeles. Along the way it goes through St Louis, Joplin, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Amarillo, Albuquerque (Santa Fe), and Flagstaff to name a few.
Although entrepreneurs Cyrus Avery of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and John Woodruff of Springfield, Missouri deserve most of the credit for promoting the idea of an interregional link between Chicago and Los Angeles, their lobbying efforts were not realized until their dreams merged with the national program of highway and road development.
