Hi Bill: Based on your reports, I started listening for them, and I finally heard them the other night, with a discussion in English and Spanish regarding the efforts of the mayor of Oakland. Pittsburg is just to the NE of Oakland.
Their daytime pattern: http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/MB/Databases/AM_DA_patterns/306020-4624.pdf shows some decent lobes to the north west during the day, which would intersect your QTH, so no surprise that they are heard up here around sunrise. Their nightime pattern: http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/MB/Databases/AM_DA_patterns/1154811-96638.pdf switches directions and blankets the Bay area to the SW, so I'm a bit surprised that I heard them; perhaps they forgot to switch from their daytime pattern :-) 73 - Kevin S Bainbridge Island, WA > The Spanish speaking station on 990 was coming in really clear this > morning (01-21-10) at 8AM PST but the only clue that I heard for IDing > this one was the name San Francisco so it must be coming from Pittsburgh > Ca a few miles north east of S.F.
