Re: [IRCA] Palm Springs radio update

["Donald K. Kaskey" <kaskeyfamily@xxxxxxxxx>]

KGFJ was fairly easy up here in Nor. Cal as is KYPA (last I 
tried)...1240 KPPC Pasadena could be (and was) heard in Sacto on Monday 
mornings from midnight to 0005 s/off (sometimes on as late as 0030) in 
1966-67.  KROY Sacto would s/off at 0000 on MMs & that left KPPC (with 
their 100 watts) and Abbotsford BC alone on the channel for a few 
minutes.  Big Bear Lake (KTOT then in 1965-67) was heard on E/T in Dec 
65 playing Handel's "Messiah" for hours at a time + last few minutes 
before s/off in Dec 65 & Jan 66.
