i left the area by 1972, so cousin brucie days of ownership of wall is an unkown to me. during 68' and 69' the station ran rock with a live crew. coverage at night when they went to 250 watts on am was about a 10 miles radius. i had no fm radio in the car at that time. at that time i did not know any one who had a fm radio in their car. i knew a fellow driver that had a below the dash 45 rpm record player. to this day i wonder how zenith designed this device to operate with out a skip while the vehicle was in motion.
i broadcast on wall a show along with other students that centered around orange county community college-occc. on halloween of 69' we staged a broadcast of the play of the war of the worlds. in november of 69', i went to the vietnam war protest in washington, dc as a reporter for the station. the students of occc attended the protest. audio was sent from my dc reporting via a phone booth that was located near the lincoln memorial.
for those not around in that era, that is what local radio was like before the days of automation.
