I don't see how they could work without killing the recipient. It kills the goat! Only one mention of the quack ‘gland’ operations?

By the way the zeusaphone was very cool too. Thanks for sharing.

But, one night going up the band I found XERF 1570 Del Río, Texas. I didn't care what they were selling, but the music did it all, supported by this one of kind personlity, Wolfman Jack, who used to ID each song with this echo-wolf that sounded great in the still of the night. The years went by and next time I heard about the Wolfman was on the American Graffiti film. At last, I knew one of my heroes. Next time was his passing an his real name was Robert Smith. Nowadays, he has "returned" from the grave as Dutch station The Mighty KBC is running his show on 6055 and 6040 kHz short wave. But, nothing compares those memorable days of the Border Blaster.

I read that article and was fascinated then I delved even further into this wonderful site. You have taken time and trouble to source some great archive material from old magazines, long may the site continue. More of a complete web site than a blog, and also an excellent reference source. I hope the site will be archived for other generations. I will be returning regularly to read more. I live in a house built in 1889, and have got a fascination for things mechanical as well. Keep up the good work I am putting a link on my site, and in my current diary page for others to follow up Your site was recommended to me by my excellent radio club, the British DX Club, for the item on the Superstations at Sea.

And now pop music's limited to Clearchannel subsidiaries anf their top forty hits. Hurrah freedom. #2: “Rock and Roll was limited to just a couple of hours per day and seldom more than the top ten hits.”

The broadcast could be picked up in at least seven states. The station was immortalized in the ZZ Top song "I Heard It on the X". The UK was more fodder for pirate broadcasting because of the monopoly of the BBC. Rock and Roll was limited to just a couple of hours per day and seldom more than the top ten hits.
