[BC] How the KOB decision affected WABC

[ACN]

Yes, Peter.  KXA during the war would come back on the air around 10pm as I 
recall.   They had a huge sky wave from a flat top wire on top of the old 
Rhodes Brothers Department Store in downtown Seattle.

I don't recall a station in Seattle on 1100.  1150 and 1250.

Thanks for sharing.
