Is it on an old alignment of the highway? Iβve never seen it, but I have noticed an older alignment that runs a little east of the current US95.
Or maybe I need to pay more attention!

The first licensed Nevada radio station to actually broadcast, 830AM KDZK in Reno, NV, made its on air debut on the evening of Jul 21, 1922. t.co/JLMnx5u9zR
The license was awarded to Nevada Machinery & Electric Co owned by Frank Broili and Julius Caesar Broili.
While I donβt agree with Commissioner Trustyβs statement on CPB and Public Media Funding, particularly while looking through the rural radio lens, I appreciate that weβre finally being spoken to as intelligent beings, without the alienating buzz terms.
