[BC] Re: Copper program Loops

[Steve Newman]

Hi Tom..

Well, this was in 1981-1982 (before I went to KING-FM to do Mornings as 
Steve Hillard. If you were there you might remember me). The station's calls 
at that time were KFXX (The Fox) at 1250. I believe it's still an ABC/Disney 
station. We had a 5kw Non-D in West Seattle and a night site which was a 4 
tower (parallelogram) array in Kirkland, also 5Kw. (designed by Hatfield & 
Dawson)

BTW, the "big" station I mention in my message is KJR.
