The other station I remember as a kid was a Texas station that was

call but later was the home of "Wolfman Jack"


Hi Fred,

I listened to him too.

XELO out of Del Rio, Texas (yeah, really across the river).

Wolfman Jack (Bob Smith) is immortalized in the movie "American
Graffiti", where he plays himself. He died in 1995 at age 56. There's a
lot about him on the web. See, for example
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfman_Jack.

Hi Roy,

The better majority of listings cite XERF, certainly, but seem as
likely to obliquely refer to XELO whose call letters seemed to be
re-assigned on a whim. One thing I have no doubt of, tho', is that
guttural rasp announcing "from Del Reee o Texas."
