Hi Nick,
Not excited about another 50 KW powerhouse in the NW. I think that will
be about number ten in the 50 KW Dept for the Puget Sound with 710, 770,
820, 880, 950, 1000, 1090, 1300, 1380, and now 1520. Then add in the
10KW or more (850, 1150, 1210, 1620, and 1680). That is a lot of
powerhou

KWG I got QSL'd back in the late 60s when they were Top 40. I have a
local on 1230 and I don't hear Stockton as often. In the old days KVAS
(then) was not 24 hours.
I well remember another 3 call letter station for years in Spoka
Yes KWG is good.
I just got a current sticker in the mail from them.

If you listen to KTTO, just cough when they do an ID...it will sound just
like KWG. Same goes for the old KYA. It also is Sacred Heart radio.
Original programming is a thing of the past unless you're a college station.

I think someone already mentioned that KGY 1240 Olympia, WA, is another three
letter call on a local channel. I heard them in Spokane (300 miles away) for
the first time only about a year ago.
Doesn't KWG 1230 Stockton, CA, still exist? I've never heard them but I'd love

Oh yes, the good ol' days of 3 call letters. I have logged and QSL'd
many of them. KTW was one I missed out on QSLing. At one time I had made

when the FCC gave them back their orig calls, for a short time. I got a
