Hello KD Radio Listeners and Friends,
Before 2008 is over, let me commemorate the
50th Anniversary of KDNF, the predecessor
of the KD Radio group of stations.
From http://www.oldiesmusicradio.com/history.htm we have this:

"In 1958, KDNF AM 840 was constructed by a
12 year old boy living in North Hollywood.
That boy, Steve Ricketts, had a love for electronics,
mechanics and "broadcast radio." Steve had dreams
of someday owning and operating his own
commercial radio station. At the age of 12,
the options available to him were very limited.
The only licensed options available to him
were "ham" or "CB" radio. Although these were
interesting hobbies, they were never intended
as a means of presenting commercial radio
programming to the general public. Thus,
the "pirate" 5 Watt AM home-built station would be his outlet."
