Patrick,

That's the one! I think the consulting engineer who prepared the application
for KISD/KJTT/KWDB-1110 also set up KKZU-1510 as his own station, maybe as a
challenge as it was supposed to be a difficult "drop-in" and hard to
engineer the pattern.

It seems to me that KKZU-1510 was a difficult one, and I heard it by chance.
Also seems to have been doomed (as I saw it) from the beginning as a non-
viable operation.

Does anyone in the Sea/Tac area know the engineer's name? He was about 60
(in 1985)
