Re: [IRCA] KABN 1480 Concord, CA. KWUN

Dennis,

Of course I remember KWUN!  When I dxed from Sacramento 1965-1969 this 
was one of my two closest unheards, the other being KVRE-1460 Santa 
Rosa.  I had KXOA on 1470 but they had some off time those days but 
never did I hear KWUN.  Driving to S.F. from Sacto I would have the dial 
on 1480 and finally when I was about due north of Concord their signal 
would start to be audible.  Of course the further west I drove the 
better the signal.  I would drive State 37 from Vallejo to Novato and 
rarely pick up traces of KVRE.
Once I moved to San Francisco in 1975 I could hear KWUN easily as they 
directed their 500 watts right at me.  KVRE was much harder but on cold 
(for us) winter afternoons I could get a readable signal.  That was from 
26 & Balboa.  Where I am now on 35th avenue I can get KRRS (x-KVRE) 
almost any day at sunset with their SS programming.  Just as hard in a 
reverse direction is KJAY-1430 Sacramento.  One mid afternoon in 1976 or 
1977 I had them coming in along with Fresno & Santa Clara but haven't 
been able to hear them since even on their DX test a few years ago.
