Several of those look familiar to ones that we had around the house. I didn't start listening to rock n' roll until the mid-60's, but my favorite station for much of that time was KAAY-AM in Little Rock, Arkansas (back when "clear channel" in radio was a good thing!) Also, WLS-Chicago and WLW-Cincinnati... good memories!
