KNBC was the call when I started dxing around 1948-49. They were easy to hear in Iowa at that time as were most of the 5 to 50 kw west coasters. I remember when KFRC was a member of the Don Lee Network. Believe they ran Mutual Broadcasting System at the time. Don Lee worked up and down the coast. I used to catch scads of California graveyarders on frequency checks but remember hearing KSAN-1450-San Francisco on regular schedule and a few others as well. Probably my best was CHUB-1570-Nanaimo B.C. with 250 watts heard while XERF was blasting away with their 250 kw. I was using a Zenith tablemodel at the time with no directional antenna. KBMX-1470-Coalinga heard on opening equipment tests also, using 500 watts. Enuf already.
