FCC oops

You've almost certainly found and error BUT PA is the only state fully
east of the Mississippi that has multiple stations with K calls. It
has three; all AMs with legacy calls: KYW, KDKA, and KQV. Several
states that are fully west of the Mississippi have multiple stations
with W calls. Texas has four that I can think of (unless one or more
of those call signs has been changed): WOAI, WBAP, WFAA, and WACO, and
probably has more than that. The WACO calls migrated from AM to FM
many years ago. Texas had at least one other W call sign until fairly
recently, but I don't think WTAW is in use any longer.
