Per Wikipedia, XWA started experimentally on 01 Dec 1919 and began regular
programming on 20 May 1920.  KDKA "may" have still been using 8ZZ on 02 Nov
1920 when they broadcast election returns.  It was listed as unclear
whether their license had been received by that date.  KQW was not licensed
until 09 Dec 1921, but had been using experimental calls since 1909.

As Dennis (and others) pointed out with Wikipedia links, KCBS/KQW was
testing in 1909, though they were using experimental calls at the time.
There was also a Canadian Marconi station on the air before KDKA.  The
first license granted in the USA by the Department of Commerce was to KDKA,
but they weren't the first on the air.

currently looking out the window at KQW's original 1909 building!

Great story -- and a good primer for the state of radio at this moment in

AM radio is far from dead - just switch one on at night time and get away
from the obvious noise sources.
