Turned me on to some KILLER music that if it weren't for them,I'd never know existed.
Was it an AM station out of Beaumont, TX? I used to pick one up in Lafayette, LA, in the late '70s -- can't recall the call letters, but they played a great mix of music.
It was KRQX 570am out of Dallas,Texas. I still have a ton of air checks I recorded on cassette tape. I think they were around from 1983 to maybe 1986? I wonder how long the am stereo fad lasted?
