Do you remember Back in 1966? Country Jesus, hillbilly blues Where I got my licks From coast to coast and line to line In every county there Talkin' 'bout that outlaw X He's cuttin' through the air

Great channel. You should do an episode on "Texit" and past efforts and threats to reclaim Texas independence.

I have heard that you could hear the radio station's broadcast Amplitude Modulated Radio signal in a barbed wire fence!

Look up WLW's 500KW transmitter.

@7:38, I thought for sure you were going to say the plaque read; "The Father, The Son and the Holy GOAT."

The border radio stations did indeed change media and culture forever. That is a major theme of a book I coauthored on the subject 35 years ago with Wild Bill Crawford. Here is a program we did about the book and the stations this past May: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2WzXn1uiLKaiK8
