Which is too bad.  When running as a "virtual ship" in Buena 
Park - KFI was truly the beacon of the west.  KFI was so 
important during WWII - armed troops were assigned to guard 
it's facilities - and it's signal was noted on aviation maps 
as a primary RDF for the region...  'Course to a kid growing 
up listening to KFI - what mattered was the score...  and 
who Drysdale or Koufax was blowing 'em by this time...

Yup... Long time ago.
