OK, Cecil, it’s time to come clean. In your answer to the column, [Why do U.S. radio call letters start with W in the east and K in the west (revisited)?](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/010504.html), you declined to list all the errors that Eddie DiLao of Los Angeles had found in your original column. In the interest of fighting ignorance, and to save a lot of time for those of us who are too lazy to look up the original column, what were the other errors Mr. Dilao enumerated? Charter members want to know!

Mr. DiLao merely posed the original question – it was I who enumerated the errors in Unca Cece’s original reply. See the [Cecil’s Lousy Call Letter Answer](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=2) thread for the full details.

Thanks **whitetho** , I should have known this had probably been hashed out before. I suspect someone else will take the bait next time that column is run. Sorry I missed your contribution the first time around.
