KLOM

1330 AM KLOM was a Top-40 station in (K) LOMpoc, California circa the early 1980s.  I'm almost certain that this is the exact same slogan and logo that San Diego's KGB-AM was using around the same time.  This sticker's backing has a local coupon that confirms it was from KLOM.
  

The KGB decal I have is smaller and blank on the back.  Click here to see it at the bottom of the posting.  You can also see the similar font and color scheme on the KGB van in the top photo of that entry.
 
EDIT: The notes included with the video below (written by the guy heard on the aircheck) says that KLOM "stole the 13K logo" from KGB in San Diego.
