AM stations heard from San Diego, CA area  (1600-1700 kHz)

Last updated 03/27/2004 9:12 PM

 

Stations shown here were logged from July 4th, 1976 to the present (call letters and city-of-license may not be up to date).  Most were logged from home (Chula Vista or Bonita), but some of the better catches came from antenna sites in Poway and Rancho Bernardo in 1989-1990 with Neil Kazaross.  I removed the tables from these listings so the pages should load a lot faster now.
