Pete,
Can't help with the station list, but you might pass along this link:
http://www.antiqueradio.com/gilbertcombs_ekko_6-97.html
It has some history on these stamps which suggests far more stations using
them than your note mentions. Also the price of $1.75 was for a collectors
album, the stamps themselves, came as acknowledgement of receipt from the
stations that participated. There are also several references offered at
this site.
This is in addition to the EKKO posting Lynn made earlier, which also has
more on these stamps.
