I almost got it today????

Ahhh yes..Wolfman Jack broadcasting R&R from AM1570 in beautiful downtown Villa Acuna/Del Rio,Texas to listeners all across the US. For those of you too young to remember just rent American Graffiti.

I had an old Plymouth Fury car radio hooked up in my bedroom an ran it off my train transformer. Drilled a bunch of holes in my nightstand and mounted an 8" Utah from Burnstein Applebee. The radio sounded good except for the hum it picked up from the train transformer.
Had a 50' wire stretched over the roof and I could pick up WLS in Chicago, KOMA in Oklahoma City, and another one I don't remember the call letters but it was in Monterey, Calif. 50K watts.
Sometimes you could barely hear the stations over all the interference! Can you imagine kids today doing that?

Looks like the knob and tube in my old house when I found my daughter playing around it under the eaves of the house. Totally uninsulated. I still have nightmares about it.

I remember camping out at 10,800 feet in the northern Sierras back in 1968 with a transistor radio picking up the Wolfman late at night from the transformer that was in Mexico, about 600 miles away.

This is the Wolfman coming to you from XERB radio. What memories.
