As a kid DXer in the early 1960s, I heard both WPEO and WCIL faintly but
clearly ID under our powerhouse local (50 miles away) KDKA early one wintry
morning. Quite a thrill, catching their calls during brief pauses in KDKA's
audio, and catching both the same morning! At the time, there were only 4
USA stations on 1020-KDKA, WCIL, WPEO, and (as I recall) KPOP in LA. I
wondered at the time, and I still wonder: why on earth would the FCC
allocate 2 stations on 1020 so close together in one state (bizarre), and on
a channel that otherwise was clear for east coast and west coast? Does
anyone know the history of this strange allocation?
