User:DrChuck68/Radio station article

This is a boilerplate for starting radio station articles, primarily for those in the United States on AM, FM, and LPFM.

The example data uses New York (NY), but any state can be used. It is based on and inspired by User:Dravecky/AMradio and User:Dravecky/FMradio.
