Back to the old call! I remember WCKY when it played country music back in the '50s. So can I, as a kid listening in North Carolina to Nelson King and Don Davis opening at 8 o'clock the WCKY 4-hour nightly jamboree. Curiously, they preceeded it at 7 with an hour of Vienese "Waltz Time." Not exactly a natural lead-in to 4 hours of country music. Speaking of big signals and country (and preacher) programming, when I was an Air Force jet basic flight instructor at Laredo AFB in the late 1950's, my most trusted LF navigational aid for night flying the black West Texas skies was the 150 or 200 KW's (or whatever) of XERF...just across the Rio Grande from Del Rio. Even flying from Laredo, the LF ADF bearing was useful to keep you from wandering too deeply into Mexico or to far north up the river. And my favorite night flying XERF program? "Sister Loretta Blankenship and the Prisoner's Bible Hour". |
