I made many trips back and forth between OKC and the CA coast. The farthest I have gotten KOMA is near Santa Clarita CA going up the eastern slope of the San Bernardino Mountains. The signal is focused toward the west and north at night. You have trouble getting the station 50 miles east of OKC.

I am researching any cemetery near Eufaula, OK that may have been moved when the lake was filled. My great grandparents were buried there according to his Civil War Pension papers. Names were William Brumley and Ruth Jane (Kerley) Brumley. Both died before the turn of the century. I have more details if anyone near there could help me. Thanks!! Wanda in Payson, AZ, the tall pine country of the Mogollon Rim Oh yes, to the one who asked about the Rodeo, or "Spring Doins" as it was called in the olden days, we still have a big event each year.
