Santa Clara, California: KVVN 1430:

Requests STA to operate non-directionally at 25% power.  (250/1,250 ND)  Homeless people are breaking into the directional antenna tuning units and tapping the AC power.  This is creating an electrical shock hazard and possibly more importantly, a fire hazard.  KVVN wishes to turn off the AC power in these enclosures, but doing so makes it impossible to switch directional patterns.

List of Class A ("Clear Channel") stations by license date

Here's a list of the 56 existing (and two former) U.S. Class A stations, in order by date of first license.  Note that KDKA is not first☺.  The Pittsburgh station's first broadcasts were under a "Special Land Station" license; "Broadcasting" licenses were not yet available.

("Special" because KDKA wasn't used to communicate with ships)
