KRAB files Petition for Immediate Action
Last year, Jan 4, 1963, Lorenzo filed an application for consent to assign the construction permit and license to the Jack Straw Memorial Foundation. The FCC had a rule to prevent transfer of licenses within three years. The rule was intended to make sure that their bureaucratic effort put into vetting potential licensees was not wasted, and that potential licensees were not operating as "fronts" for less worthy candidates.

May 25, 1964
Chief Engineer and Technical Director Jeremy Lansman tries to save some money
As I understand this, Jeremy proposed a change in the method of monitoring the output from transmitter's final that would assume that, over time, the efficiency of the tubes, and the power output will decrease. The intent was to extend the life of the expensive tubes in the transmitter. Years later, KRAB was receiving donated used tubes from other stations in (KOL and KAYO?) Seattle.
