Good heavens! Another old codger who spent hours listening to Wolfman Jack back in the 'Fifties! Wow! What memories.

One correction though, sir. Radio station X??? (I only remember the call letters started with an "X") ran 500,000 watts--five times the legal limit in the U.S. You probably remember that Wolfman Jack used to claim you could tune in in New York, drive all the way to California, and never lose the signal. I suspect he was right.
