There are a few leftovers from before the Commish nailed down the
Mississippi 
W/K line - 

Examples are  - 

KYW in Philly
WOAI in San Antonio

Been in Broadcasting since 1961 and in my career I've work for a number of 
Radio stations with 3-letter calls - KMO, KTW...Sadly the FCC determined 
That once an owner changed them to 4-Letters there was no going back.

On the Amateur Side - I've had K7CR for about 43 years ..Been very 
Pleased with it, on Phone and CW.  (Even tho it ends in a Dit)
