That is interesting, 50 KW nights. 1520 will even be in more of a jumble at night. KOMA dominates most nights here on the coast.

Re: [IRCA] Call letter meanings - 75 years ago
My college radio station at Valdosta State College (now Valdosta State University) in Valdosta, GA is WVVS. It's supposed to be We're the Wonderful Voice of Valdosta State. However, in college, during my heavy metal show, I used to call it the Wicked Voice of Vice and Sin. Somehow it fit, but I used to get some looks whenever I said it out loud.

At least KHJ got the calls back. In the NW we still have KVI, KJR, KPQ, KIT, KUJ, KGA, KGY, KXL, KEX, etc. Too bad KTW, KXA, KOL , KMO are gone. KGW is still on the TV side (ch 8). 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com 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: irca@hard-core-dx.com
Re: [IRCA] Call letter meanings - 75 years ago
Here in Southern California during the cold war no less, we had a couple former AM station call signs that I always found humorous. 1) KIEV 870 Glendale CA 2) KGB 1360 San Diego CA. The former claims that the call sign was just assigned sequentially. I don't know what the latter stood for, but their FM still keeps that call sign on 101.5. By the way, 1360 AM is now KLSD %$#! > To: a...@lists.wtfda.info; irca@hard-core-dx.com; a...@nrcdxas.org > From: amdxm...@aol.com > Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2011 02:28:42 -0400 > Subject: [IRCA] Call letter meanings - 75 years ago > > > There have been many lists of call letters and what they stood for, but this > is from a 1935 DX News and might be more authentic than later sources. > > > WRC Washington Radio Corporation > WOS Watch Our State > WJJD James J.
