Walt,

Thanks for your two reports. Very interesting. Comments:

KBLA (then KDAY) was among the first West Coast stations to pop in  
when I was out in the Pacific

More than likely KTNQ

KTCT calls itself KNBR (as I recall). However, it is Fox Sports  
(KNBR-680 is ESPN).

1070 - you didn't list KNX but we heard it very well on the North  
Island. We were on our honeymoon in November '78 and tuned in to find  
out that Jerry Brown won the CA governorship. (I understand he is  
running again!)
