Re: [IRCA] Old Radio Pictures (and other interesting tidbits)

[bill kral <jwkral@xxxxxxxx>]

In the Old Radio category; correct me if I'm wrong but the Call letters of US stations were started with the W because the first eastern stations were operated by the Westinghouse (Electric Company--not sure of this part of the name) with the strange exception of KDKA Pittsburgh--the first Westinghouse station.So that segways me to the question: How and why were all the western stations ( with the exception of a few easterns- in Phily and Pitts ) using the K as the first of 3 or 4 call letters? Anyone out there with a definite answer out there? Thanks,Bill in BC
