Saturday Night Radio

Well, its Saturday night and Dan and the boys really want to get the new cd on the air, but have to wait till all the red tape is done with the record people and produces and what not. Or do they?.....
Back in the day, Dan was dreaming of the big time, of getting into his car and when he turned on the radio he would hear his song. Yeh, it was some dream, but then he had an idea.
Dan was living in Langtry in 1978 and was the proud owner of a 1963, P&H Spitfire mobile amplifier which used six, 12JB6 sweep tubes. It was still the hottest base station cb in all of Langtry and then some. Output was about 500 watts PEP. With a 50 foot tower, he could talk from his living room to people as far away as California on a good clear night. One thing was for sure, truckers on highway 90 heard him loud and clear, as well as truckers on highway 10, a good 150 miles away.
Well, one night he got his cb base station heated up and took his guitar, plugged into the amp and commenced to key down and play his originals. After each song he would key up to get the truckers response and not "stomp" on the channel. Well, the truckers really liked what they heard and so he would play another song, get the review and continue. Well that was good entertainment for truckers taking that long lonely highway with absolutely nothing around for miles, and that means radio stations as well. So Dan got popular for his Saturday night radio show.
30 years later, he is sitting at a friends house who has a 1000 watt linear base station and a 100 foot tower. The boys are all tuned up and are about to key down again! I hope the truckers are going to welcome KWTM to channel 18 on the dial...
