Kymi, Greece
Kymi (Greek: , ) is a coastal town and a former municipality (6,706 inhabitants in 2021) in the island of Euboea, Greece, named after an ancient Greek town of the same name. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Kymi-Aliveri, of which it is a municipal unit. The municipal unit has an area of 167.616 km2. History The ancient Euboean Kyme is mentioned as a harbor town related to the more prominent '' poleis'' of Chalkis and Eretria in antiquity. Together with these, it is sometimes named as the founding ''metropolis'' of the homonymous Kymē (Cumae) in Italy, an important early Euboean colony, which was probably named after it. According to Strabo, Hippocles of Cyme, an ancient Greek oecist, was from here. He, along with Megasthenes of Chalcis, founded the colony near the area where then Rome flourished. This new colony contributed its Euboean alphabet to the culture of the area, which subsequently became the Latin alphabet. There are few ...

Kymi Ring
The KymiRing is a motor racing circuit in Kausala of the Iitti municipality, Päijänne Tavastia, Finland, bordering the Kymenlaakso's regional capital Kouvola, and located north-east of the capital Helsinki. It was planned that it would be the first circuit in Finland to hold an FIA Grade 1 license. While the circuit itself was built to meet both Formula 1 and MotoGP specifications, hosting a Formula 1 Grand Prix would require substantial investment in both the track's facilities and in race hosting fees. The track was officially opened on 19 August 2019 with a small MotoGP test. In July 2022, the developer was reported as being in administration. The name "Kymi" comes from the Kymi River (''Kymijoki''), in the valley of which the race track is located. Facilities The main racetrack, designed by Pohjola and Apex Circuit Design Ltd is long.

KJJT
KJJT (98.5 MHz) was an FM radio station licensed to Los Ybanez, Texas. History KJJT was originally known as KYMI. While this was randomly assigned by the FCC (other new stations in this group were named KYMF, KYMG, KYMH, KYMJ, KYMK, etc.) and most of these changed names before actually going into operation, KYMI stayed with the name, using the retronym of "K Ybanez Mary and Israel". The founders (of the town as well as the station) were Israel and Mary Ybanez. The station was initially on 107.9 mHz. It was moved to 98.5 as a result of changes at KADM (now KQLM) Odessa, which moved from a class C2 permit on 107.7 to a class C1 (more power, more antenna height) on 107.9. This obligated that station to move the station in Los Ybanez to a new, comparable channel, compensate them for changes in equipment, and pay to promote the changes . The station had been programmed pursuant to a brokered time agreement where a group in Brownfield, Texas, was running a religious outreach ...
