(During this hour, we placed a police scanner set to 460.8875 in front of the open microphone, set the CD player on repeat, then went out to the parking lot with the walkie-talkie to jump around like fools in the rain, while listening to the station on a boom box.)

Yeah, we were annoying as DJs. Most of that is due to the fact that we were trying to entertain ourselves, rather than the listeners. (And that tradition continues to this very day.) But luckily for us, there weren't a lot of entertainment options for people in a semi-isolated suburban community back then. This kind of crap would never exist today. We're lucky we got the chance to do it.

Make it a family Xmas tradition... gather the family to sit and listen to all four hours.  No one leaves.  NO ONE.

Merry Xmas!
