Hi Don and group-
I do remember when it was KNBC, in 1957. They were, very often,  into 
Dallas, TX in the early morning hours around 0500.

I also have a QSL from KNBR dated in 1967. I was in the navy, stationed in 
Charleston, SC and my wife and I lived on Sullivan Island, SC. I heard them 
at 0300 during a rain storm. The rig was the same on both receptions. A 
Lafayette radio KT-200 and a long wire about 20 feet off the ground.
The receiver was given to me for Christmas 1957. I still have that radio, 
though it doesn't play any more.

It seemed so easy to hear good DX back then. Wish those days would return.

I can also remember when channel 4 in Los Angeles was KNBC-TV and channel 4 
in New York City was WNBC-TV and 660 in New York City was WNBC radio with 
Monitor program on the weekends.

Boy I feel old!
