KPO San Francisco had a shortwave transmitter, and could be heard as far as Manila. NHK Radio Tokyo also had a shortwave broadcast that could be picked up on the U.S. West Coast. KGMB Honolulu could certainly be heard around Hawaii, though I don't know what the actual historical range was. KNX, while it didn't have shortwave, did have a very powerful transmitter that allowed it to sometimes be picked up across the Pacific when atmospheric conditions were right. KHJ was only chosen because I had listings for it, so I don't know its actual range either. It definitely didn't have shortwave though. The remaining stations are fictional, so you can ignore them if need be.

So in answer to your question, historically KPO and NHK could definitely have been heard, KNX on occasion.

Honestly though, if you're limited in space I would suggest not worrying about historical accuracy and just go with the ones that fit your available space better.
