Title: wait I never knew this
Post by: Snorkel on May 20, 2008, 01:15:53 PM
I just realized that all the FM stations here have call letters that start with K (KDWB, KQRS, KTIS, KQQL, etc) and all the AM stations are W.

What are yours?  baddood;

K represents a station west of the Mississippi, while W represents those east of it

Yes, the US has 4 letters for radio, W, K, A, and N. W and K represent geographic regions of domestic radio, A is for Army and Air Force use, and N is for the Navy and Coast Guard
