Uh, Ken.... For BC stations, W was east of the Mississippi and K was west, with several legacy exceptions. Ship radio stations, OTOH, were reversed - W ships were registered in west coast ports, K ships were registered in east coast ports. This scheme for both BC and ship stations more or less went away, ships after WW-II and BC in the '70s.
