Dennis,

Your local on 1550 Vancouver has an interesting history. They operated
from an old house in North Portland as a 1 KW daytimer. They were Top 40
rock and in the late 60s opened up studios across the street from KISN
at 10th and West Burnside in downtown Portland.  Of course to compete,
they really did not have a prayer being a 1 KW daytimer and KISN 910 was
5 KW 24/7, but they tried. The old 10th and Burnside location was called
"The KISN Corner" . The 1550 KGAR along with KISN would pull all sorts
of contests and stunts from in front of the studios. I still have quite
a few charts from the stations from the 60s/70s somewhere. Then came KGW
on the scene that really did compete with KISN. Ah, the good ol' days.
As I said, radio was fun. Portland had KXL-750, KPDQ-800, KKEY-1150,
KLIQ-1290, KUIK-1360, KPAM-1410, KVAN-1480, KGAR-1550, and KOHI-1600, as
daytimers.  

73,

Patrick
