Bruce,
I received a long e mail from Chuck Boehnke back in 2002 talking about
being near Pearl Harbor when the Japanese planes flew over. His father
was in the military and they were stationed near Pearl Harbor. The
people thought those were US planes. Infact I just dug out the e mail
from Chuck
Mike,
According to Chuck Boehnke, Dec 7th, KGMB was indeed on the air during
the bombing. However they signed off right after, but were told to
return to the air to give out emergency info. Both KGU and KGMB returned
to the air.

BTW, Canada had been involved in WWII for more than two years before Pearl
Harbor.
Hi Mike-
Yes they had cars
7 December is famous for two things, Pearl Harbor and it is also the same
date I joined the navy. (Not in 1941).
As a philatelist I collect U.S. navy ship cancels. I almost have all the
ships that were at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. I created an exhibit and
displayed them in September 2006,
