Although it's from a much earlier era than you request, according to my
"Commercial and Government Radio Stations of the United States" edition
of  June 30 1929 (the only edition I have):

KFS:  The well-known CW coast station, listed as near Palo Alto,
California in 1929.  This one was on the air, though possibly at a
different location, right up to the end of US commercial Morse in July,
1999.

KLB:  CW coast station at Portland, Oregon, in 1929.

> KBNU                 5995 kcs.

My list has no info on KBNU or WXFJ.  Ship stations seem to have all had
four-letter calls by 1929, and a few of the coast stations had four
letter calls by then too, though three-letter calls predominated greatly
for coast stations.
