Oh yes! Long before I got into FTA, I was an avid DXer. When I lived in Atlanta, GA for awhile I would listen to WWL 870 out of New Orleons when the old overnight "Roadgang" Show would air. It was an all-night trucking show featuring classic country music and comedy. The DJ would announce, by CB handle, where truckers were at and how far from home they were to their spouses and children who would listen at home. Before the days of the internet and cellphones it was a unique approach to "staying in touch" with loved ones. I also became an avid fan of 1950s Rock and Roll during my DXing years listeneing to "oldies" formats on such clear-channel giants as WLS 890 Chicago, WOWO 1190 Fort Wayne, WOGL 1210 Philledelphia, WHAS 840 Louisville, and another all-night truckers show out of Dallas/Fort Worth, the Midnight Cowboy on WBAP 820. The DJs from The "Midnight Cowboy," and "The Roadgang," can now be heard on Sirius XM Radio on the Truckers Channel and they hold true to their original AM formats that made them unique back in those days. Now the dial is full of News, Talk, and Weirdoes, e.g. "Coast To Coast AM." I will always remember how those old Doo Wop records used to sound through the AM static. It was almost magical. It was easy to imagine sitting in a 1957 Chevrolet Convertible in the warm midnight air listening to those tunes on the "Wonderbar" Radio those cars had. I will never forget those nights. Now it's internet and FTA for me.
