Karl and Bruce, Yes, I remember KYAK 630. Never heard here, but a friend in Anchorage sent me the ad out of the Anchorage Times. We moved from Seward back to the Oregon Coast April 67 I think KYAK signed on 68 or 69 (without checking). I remember how surprised I was to hear Alaska had a Daytimer. Yes, they must have only been on about 5 hours a day in December. It those days they probably had to sign off because of KJNO. Why they picked 630, who knows? In those days so many frequencies were open. Seward had 5:32 of daylight Dec 21st and Anchorage being a bit more to the North would have less. No wonder KYAK moved to 650. Another interesting station when I lived in Seward in the 60s was KLAM Cordova. They were/still are 250w on 1450, but then came on at 7:30 AM, signed off at 9:30 AM. Signed back on at 5 PM and off at 10 PM, Monday through Friday, off weekends. Lots of spots s I remember though. The signal popped right across Prince William Sound every day with good signals at over 100 miles. Listened to them often as a kid. In those days Alaska had 15 MW stations and a fair number of AFRTS outlets from 10w-250w.
