Welcome to RJ Harris dot
com. I purchased my domain in the infancy of the Internet, so that I
would have the same email address the rest of my life. Since curious
friends and listeners sometimes stop by, I decided to put some simple
content up here. WARNING: It's all about me. Radio, rocks, politics, and
family. Thanks for stopping. |

I am the
morning host on WHP 580 in Harrisburg, PA. WHP went on the air in 1925
as WMBS. WHP is still rated #1 in most every Arbitron survey. I
started in radio at age 14 at WRAW in Reading, PA, and have been
blessed to work in great markets like New York, Chicago, Philadelphia,
Nashville, and Sacramento.
WYNY (NBC) New York- Mornings, WAPP (Doubleday) New York- Mornings,
WLUP (The Loop) Chicago- Mornings, WYSP Philadelphia- Program
Director, KXOA Sacramento- Mornings, WISN/WLPX (Hearst) Milwaukee-
Mornings/Program Manager, WLAC/WKQB (Billboard Magazine) Nashville-
Program Director.
My family I came home to
Pennsylvania to stay in Fall 1989. Central PA played a significant
role early in my career, having worked on WAHT, WIOO, WCMB, Starview
92. My first management job was at WIOO at age 19.
Of all of the stations that I have
ever worked on, WHP is by far my favorite. I have been a talk radio
junkie for years... and it is great to be on one of the consistently
highest rated stations in America!

I knew at age 12
that I wanted to be a radio disc jockey, but prior to that was aim was
to be a geologist. Rocks, minerals, and fossils are still one of my
great passions. I am an avid field collector and have served three
terms as president of the Central PA Rock and Mineral Club.
Rockhouding is great fun and excellent exercise. Please stop by the
club's website to learn more. Click underneath the logo to your right.

Amateur Radio, commonly known as ham radio,
has been an important part of my life. I was licensed as WA3LIV in 1968. My
current call sign is W3HP. Hams are considered vital first responders by
Congress. It is hams who get the message through in times of crisis.
