XERF

Hi, Mr Steady. You must mean XERF licensed at 250,000 Watts with studios
in Del Rio TX.

My late brother-in-law got it back up to full power a few decades ago
although the 'owners' preferred 50,000 Watts to save money on electricity.

The transmitter was serial #1 - RCA - custom built for a South American dictator but never delivered.

XERF was before 1939 XERA - operated by John Romulus Brinkley, the
'goat gland' doctor who was chased across the border by US authorities
egged on by the American Medical Association. Dr. Brinkley used to call
them the American Meatcutters Association.

Ah, memories memories.
