Re: [IRCA] Fun Night for sure!

I also have KFQD on 730 (10 KW) QSL'd, but that was from Seward AK. In
those days there were only 15 commercial stations in the state. Plus
another dozen AFRN stations.

550-KENI-5KW-Anchorage-Top 40
590-KHAR-5KW-Anchorage-EZL
630-KJNO-1KW-Juneau-MOR
660-KFAR-10KW-Fairbanks-Top 40
730-KFQD-10KW-Anchorage-MOR/Pop
790-KCAM-5KW-Glenallen-Rel
800-KINY-5KW-Juneau-Pop
850-KICY-5KW-None-Rel
900-KFRB-10KW-Fairbanks-MOR
930-KTKN-1KW-Ketchikan-MOR
1230-KIFW-250w-Sitka-MOR
1270-KBYR-1KW-Anchorage-MOR
1400-KSEW-250w-Sitka-MOR
1450-KLAM-250w-Cordova-MOR
+1490-KIBH-50w-Seward-MOR

570-AFRN-250w-Galena
890-AFRN-100w-Elmendorf AFB
890-AFRN-300w-Adak
960-WCVQ-250w-Kodiak
1490-AFRN-50w-Eilison AFB

Plus some others AFRN's I don't remember. The only one of the above I
never QSL'd was KSEW as they never replied. Today, I would have been
more agressive to get a QSL.
Even in the mid 60s, stations like KENI and KFQD were pretty much NSP.
KFRB Fairbanks may have been too.
  + KIBH was an interesting station, as the Tital Wave of the March 27th
1964 quake took the station out. KIBH's studios sat up on a mound
overlooking the bay and with the tower behind it. I hung out there after
school as some of the kids did a Top 40 show. The station was on 1340
with 250w. I believe they were on from 8AM to 10 PM daily. When the wave
took out the station, Seward had no station for a while as then the
state's Civic Defense put on the temporary station on 1490. I think they
used the KIBH calls. When we left in 1967, it was still operating from
the library, but the next year they moved to 950 and went 1 KW.   A lot
of memories.

73,
