Yes, and while KOB was using 1030 on an STAed basis, WBZ was temporarily 
reduced in class from Class I-A to Class I-B, domestically, but it was 
retained as Class I-A, internationally.

Hubbard claimed operation of KOB on 1030 was "technically infeasible", 
which makes about as much sense as the claim to 770.

Neither have a basis in technical or legal facts.

All for vanity.

WBZ was restored to Class I-A, domestically, after the more-or-less 
permanent move of KOB to 770.

1030 was later placed on the Class II-A List, so its fate wasn't as good 
as expected.

Small(er) town Class I-As completely escaped the Class II-A List, but 
these couldn't escape the post-"Rio" decimation of the U.S. Class I-A 
clears.

In a real sense, it was probably best to be a U.S. Class I-B, as with one 
in the east and one in the midwest or west, the wholesale decimation of 
those Class I-B channels couldn't occur.

Compare 880 to 1530.
