Re: [IRCA] 850 WKIX Raleigh, NC Call Sign and Format Change

["Donald K. Kaskey" <kaskeyfamily@xxxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

Nice that WKIX returneth and thanks for bringing us up to date on the 
change.  I heard a previous call WNAO in 1950 (from Iowa) but never 
caught them from California. So, hats off to your 1969 catch Mike.  In 
fact the only 2 I have heard from N.C. out here are WFGW Black Mt. on an 
E/T & WBT-Charlotte on r/s.
