[QUOTE="Frog DJ, post: 3299138, member: 4918"] Brewing - We did consume some “interesting” cuisine on the other side of the Rio Grande, and I always laughingly noted that our favorite traditional Mexican food restaurant in Juarez was “conveniently located“ right across the street from the town’s biggest bull fighting ring. ”Excuse me waiter, but why do my beef tamales still have a puja in them?” The truly compelling episodes came from operating a 200,000 watt AM radio station with its transmitter in Mexico, and the studios in El Paso. In order to broadcast in English, the government required us to pre-record each hour on 10-inch reels of tape a day in advance, and we hired a Mexican national to pick up and deliver the tapes back and forth twice a day. The Mexican transmitter engineers didn’t really care if the tapes played back correctly, so it wasn’t unusual for the 8 o’clock tape to play at 9, and vice versa, which royally screwed up the highly calculated music rotation we employed. Once in a while, they’d get “herbally adjusted” and totally forget to load the next tape, which would result in long stretches of dead air. XEROK could be picked up like a local station in Phoenix, Denver and even DFW. I did the morning drive show, and my parents could listen to me every day, sitting in their den in Wedgwood. We showed up in the ratings for markets in the aforementioned cities and several more, and we were the front page, lead story in Radio & Records - “America’s Highest Rated Rock Station.” We were “wild and crazy,” to say the least! Go Frogs! [/QUOTE]
