> Never heard of WHAS - AM having any other frequency than 840 Kc/s .

I don't remember exactly what the frequency was... it was probably before
both our times... but I read about it once.  IIRC, they were on longwave
(the part that is no longer used for AM radio) and had to move "up" the
dial once that part of the band was designated for other uses.  I *think*
they may have been at 340.

As a kid, I am sure I would have enjoyed that.  Don't think I ever heard
it, though.  ;)
