have come from there. There is a rich history there. That explains the

but OK. It did not really get going until around 1320 here. Some stuff

Thanks Scott. I got the idea KWAL was an historic station. KWAL eluded
me for years with the old KGW Portland running Top 40 and KWAL was not
24 hours, plus catching KGW off was hard to do. But finally in the 90s I
caught Portland off giving me KWAL. By then KWAL had gone 24 hours. But

Walt,
Your 801 preacher was KTWG-Guam. It was strong here too with I believe
Dr. McGee. I think McGee was also being run on Ephrata 810 at the same
time, but I am not sure if they were //. The other two Guam stations are
not as common, but 801 is heard often here.

KFIR has done something. That is for sure. But I must admit when they
moved from 1370 to 720, their signal went to pot. According to the DJ
who QSL'd my report, his letter says their coverage is much poorer now
do to the mismatch of the 1370 tower. Maybe they finally got it loaded
