Re: [IRCA] KLYC 1260 signs off Air March 22, 2013 at 1:00 PM

This is sad indeed to see a historic station leave the air. I did a little
research on the history of this station today, very interesting. 
I want to ask a favor, would someone be able to record the sign -off of this
station on Friday, I would like to add to my growing collection.

Kind Regards

Patrick,

The owner of KLYC has schedule a sale of the equipment and furnishings on
April 6, 2013. The call letters since 1949 have been KMCM - KCYX -
06/04/1979 KLYC - 06/20/1990. Sad to see the station leave the air. A lot of
people on the Portland PDX forum believe that station will not return to the
air.  Since I moved up here from the SF Bay Area in 2002, KLYC has been the
only station that I have logged on 1260 kHz. I will try and record the
sign-off on April 6. I have KYLC now at S-9+15 db on the Sky wire antenna. A
distance of 58 miles South Southwest as the crow flies. Moderate splatter
from KBAM Long view, WA.

Best regards,
 
Dennis,
Kalama, WA

That is too bad. I remember listening to the station back in the 1960s under
the calls KMCM for McMinnville. I wonder if the station will finally be
bought and return to the air? I guess it came on in 1949, the year I was
born. 

73,
