Mike, Gordon A. Rogers, I had not thought of him for a long time, per my old KGAR 1550 1 KW QSL from the 60s. They were in an old house. Visitied it a couple of times When KISN 910 was huge back in the late 60s, KGAR, also a top 40 rocker, tried to compete by opening studios across Burnside at 10th in West Portland. KISN was on one side and KGAR on the other. But poor KGAR could not compete, being only a 1 KWer daytimer that got trambled by 1550 SF near sunset and in the mornings in the Portland area, plus they had to sign off. KISN being a 5 KWer on 910 that covered Portand and area well. Then later came along KGW 620 with top 40 rock that did compete with KISN well. For a time even 1520 was rock. KGON. They said they went rock just to knock KISN out of the water. They did with their 50 KW, but after they made number one, they chaged format. I've got the old Pioneer Broadcasting KGW QSL card from the 60s, and the KYXI 1520 card. Lots of history.
