Back in the 1960's I remember hearing Curtis Howe Springer on XEMO 860. He
broadcast from Zzyzx Mineral Springs resort, Mojave Desert. He would talk for a
while then bring on the girls to sing some gospel music. Sometimes you could
hear the record needle scraping the record as he try to find the beginning of
the song. Best regards,

To be quite honest, Les, this is nothing new. Back when Art Bell hosted the
program, he used to do reads for a product called Dr. Duplisky's Super Prostate
Formula. I would listen to one of these and think that it all sounded like a
lot of hooey.
Now, I'm too young to remember this (I'm 51 and didn't start DXing until 1981),
but I've heard stories about how, back in the 1950s and 1960s, the border
blasters like XERF would run ads for doctors that were only slightly less shady
than snake oil salesmen. Supposedly they would hawk things like goat gland
operations that were designed to spice up your sex life, or some such. Makes
me think that maybe all-night radio hasn't changed much through the years,
after all.
