Except that that's not how the spacing for SF Bay Area signals looked 
before NARBA!

This was the middle part of the dial:

790 KGO
890 KLX
930 KROW
1010 KQW

KGO, KLX and KROW all moved up by table - all the stations on 790 and 
890 moved up 20 kc, while the creation of the new Mexican/Canadian clear 
channel on 900 meant that everybody on 900 and above moved up 30 kc.

The US stations that had been on 1010 were split up - KGGF Coffeyville 
KS to 690, WNOX Knoxville to 990, WHN New York to 1050. KQW, oddly, 
remained on the "new" 1010 and was briefly the only US station on that 
channel. (WINS New York, which had been bumped from 1180 to 1000 by 
NARBA, moved to 1010 shortly afterward.)

KQW didn't move from 1010 to 740 until 1947.

As for KTRB in its old Modesto home...it began on 740, but rather than 
being moved "by table" to 750, as did the other US 740s in Atlanta, 
Portsmouth NH and Grand Island NE, it moved to 860.
