I kinda had mixed feelings about Pittsburg. The cobblestone streets were neat,
but not the drivers. They were forever cutting you off, and didn't seem to give a rat's patoot
about courtesy. But there was the YMCA swimming pool, with water at 93F. :)
"Ol' Dan joined KKOW in 1964, and his career began at KUOA (1955),
which gave us more in common besides being old farts. I went with him
on all his many remotes. He had a huge fan base, he was much in demand.
His folksy voice reminded me of the Motel 6 guy whose spot ended with,
"We'll leave the light on."

Was mostly on the DC bands, and didn't get to know any of the local hams;
renovating the station kept me quite busy. Since I own our home here in NW Ark.,
the commute was a bit long, so I rented an apartment in Pittsburg. Some neighbors
had a dog who, at daybreak, would emit a single "yip" once per minute until he got fed.
Not very conducive for sleep after an all-nighter of maintenance.
