A major frequency shift took place worldwide in November 1978. Other  
than the Western Hemisphere, (1) stations in countries which were on  
10s switched to 9s and (2) stations in countries which were already  
on 9s seemed to end up moving 1Khz. I never did understand that. My  
wife and I were honeymooning in Fiji and there were some interesting  
catches that morning including PNG-864 and several Australians with  
significant dial position changes running continuous loops promoting  
the new channel. Yes, she knew what she was getting when she married  
me. A week or so before when we were in NZ, I placated her somewhat  
by bringing in KNX as it announced that Jerry Brown was elected the  
new governor of California...
