Anyone wanting a cheap piece of Portland Radio history cannot go wrong with a KGW EKKO stamp. Issued in the late 1920s and early 1930s, there was millions of EKKO stamps sold or given to listeners. And they were pretty much without value in the 1970s and beyond. |

Is that the KJR that used to be KOMO or the KOMO that used to be KJR? |

Yes, I will admit that the KOMO and KJR call letter swap (1940s?) has always dampened my enthusiasm for a KJR EKKO stamp. "Should I collect a KOMO EKKO stamp instead, because it became KJR?" |

KGW calls came from the original allocation. KEX & KXL calls came much later after four letter calls were introduced. |
