[Elecraft] Call Letters

[k7sss at aol.com]

Hi
I live in the Sea area which has several 3-letter calls on the air. KVI 570, KJR 950, and KJR-FM 95.7. There were more but KOL 1130(I think) and  a station in Fife are gone. The KJR stations are different formats.

There have been several "reclaimed" 3-letter call signs since - KRE in
Berkeley comes to mind. I'm not sure if KYA in San Francisco ever went
through with it but it was being considered.
