Man, I always thought he had the coolest voice on the radio. I loved his rock history segments. RIPJim Ladd, disc jockey who was a fixture of L.A. rock radio in the 1970s, dies at 75

For us "Southers" travelling north for surf, when KLOS or KMET faded out around Dume or Leo, then we knew we were venturing into enemy territory....
I had a KLOS and KMET bumper sticker on my squareback when I went up to college in Santa Barbara.
My dorm mates took them off the first week I was there.
They knew that mine was the surf mobile and they also knew they didn't want to be pulling up to any spots sporting those stickers.
I had a "Natural Progression" sicker on my car. It's a wonder it never got vandalized.I had a KLOS and KMET bumper sticker on my squareback when I went up to college in Santa Barbara.

That's funny.
I bought a NP board from a friend down South, couldn't resist, it was an absolutely beautiful 6'-4" glassed-in single fin round pin. Great board.
All white, non-descript except for the logo on the deck.
I cut it out and glassed over the hole.
Rode it for a season until MM talked me into a (then new design) 6'2" thruster.
Good move!
Back to radio...
The BEST radio, and still is, was KFOG (SF) and KPYG (SC?)
KPYG still rocking it.
Knew we were entering the CC as we exited Santa Maria going North.
Any radio South of Point Conception is absolute garbage.
