There is a listener-supported, non-commercial fm station with the same call letters  located on the campus of Evergreen State College near Olympia, Wa.    ::)

I seem to remember reading about this sometime last year.  Usually anything outside of either coast, bust wise, is kinda rare.

This was at least a year ago. I'm pretty sure the first mention and link to it was on "Pirate's Week".
