In 1928, the Federal Radio Commission decided on a few rules that remain in effect to this day:

* all radio/TV call names were required to be four letters in length

* stations east of the Mississippi River were required to start their call names with ‘W’

* stations west of the Mississippi River were required to start their call names with ‘K’

No I didn't know this and it's really interesting.

DYK that Trump's grandfather had to flee Germany to dodge the military draft; ran brothels in Seattle and New York; and was never "Swedish".
