Radio call letters: What do they mean?
I remember when I was in the U.S.Army at Scott Air Force Base,Illinois
and SL 60 near Pacific,Missouri (it's the greater,greater big wide St.Louis metro area,folks) KXOKKKKKKKKKK (KXOK) in St.Louisssssssssssss,,,,,,,, and,Are you a KWK Good Guy? and WHAS in Louisville,Kentucky.Back in those days,you just had to listen to the real good radio music stations. KMOX,The Voice of St.Louis.KMOX isn't a music station,but I used to listen to Jim White (You Can't Fix Stupid!,and Jim White is right) on KMOX. cuhulin |
