Bring back those memories. Yes, I listened to Emperor Gene on KYA. I once 
worked with Johnny Holiday on a session when I was with Coast Recorders. It 
was a spot for Del Monte. I still have the spot on tape in my collection. 
Big "Daddy" Tom Donahue (the father of underground radio) was at KYA along 
with Bobby Mitchell and on and on. KPFA (and don't forget KPFB..the 100 
watter that filled in the Berkeley/Oakland hills area. Talk about your weird 
station. Don't get me started about my home town and radio. I learned radio 
by visiting the first top-40 radio station in San Francisco. KOBY! I finally 
got (after a 30+ year search) their top of the hour jingle. Very rare and 
that's all that seems to remain of KOBY.

  Nope, don't remember them. But I do remember Mr. Science (not Dr. Science)
  on KQED.

  There was also some mention of radio back then. I used to listen to
  Emporor Nelson on KYA (which he said meant Kick Your Antenna). Also heard
  my first pledge drive on KPFA. They said that if you called right now, you
  could hear your phone ring on the air! They also did live broadcasts from
  Peoples' Park!
