I also have KFQD on 730 (10 KW) QSL'd, but that was from Seward AK. In those days there were only 15 commercial stations in the state. Plus another dozen AFRN stations.

The only one of the above I never QSL'd was KSEW as they never replied. Today, I would have been more agressive to get a QSL. Even in the mid 60s, stations like KENI and KFQD were pretty much NSP. KFRB Fairbanks may have been too. + KIBH was an interesting station, as the Tital Wave of the March 27th 1964 quake took the station out. KIBH's studios sat up on a mound overlooking the bay and with the tower behind it. I hung out there after school as some of the kids did a Top 40 show. The station was on 1340 with 250w. I believe they were on from 8AM to 10 PM daily. When the wave took out the station, Seward had no station for a while as then the state's Civic Defense put on the temporary station on 1490. I think they used the KIBH calls. When we left in 1967, it was still operating from the library, but the next year they moved to 950 and went 1 KW. A lot of memories. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
