If memory serves, the 540, Cypress Gardens, was WGTO in the late 60's, early
70's.

The 540 in Cypress Gardens (Orlando market) has gone through quite a  
bunch of call letters. It is now WFLF Pine Hills. It's cigar-shaped  
easterly signal serves the Atlantic Ocean very well. That is quite a  
catch if you heard it in CA.

WGBS used to be on 710; before that it was 10kw WFTL Fort Lauderdale.  
The GBS stood for George B. Storer. I heard it on night pattern once  
on a Coast Guard ship west of Hawaii.

Meanwhile, the tape revealed a nice KFIA ID amidst a KSPN PSA around  
1am PST 2/23 while KIRO was off so I am pleased to get these two  
Californians on a channel which otherwise has had no flexibility. On  
700, it was mostly KXLX at 2am PST but a good KGRV ID was also noted  
(unneeded). Popping in and out was KMBX in SS but I am going to have  
to use all my creative juices (and probably a little audio  
processing) to get an ID with the other two stations chattering away  
mercilessly at ID time.
