[Elecraft] OT: Call location

[donovanf at starpower.net]

Hi Ken, 


Broadcast callsigns beginning with K are mostly west of the 
Mississippi b ut there are ten -- and perhaps more -- exceptions. 


KDKA, KQV and KYW in Pennsylvania and KFIZ in Wisconsin 
were licensed before 1922. 


KFNS, KFTK, KGSM and KQQZ in Illinois and KWAM in Tennessee 

were originally licensed west of the Mississippi and moved a few 
miles east of the Mississippi but serve markets that are mostly 
west of the Mississippi. 



KJWP was originally licensed in Wyoming and moved to Delaware. 


KTGG in Michigan was probably issued by mistake in 1985... 


At least 20 stations with callsigns beginning with W are located 
west of the Mississippi, but that's another story altogether...

Trivia:. Usta be that all "K" calls on the BC band were east of the 
Mississippi River. 

WFAA and WBAP in Ft Worth share a common studio and transmitter and split 
hours of call use.
