Harvey is correct about the title.

I read it several years ago on cassette.

I thought I had seen it listed in the digital books, but I cannot find 
it on the site, nor do I find any references to him when I search the 
collection.

Anyway, he writes about how he took over the programming of XERF while 
still working in Shreveport, LA. He also gives a brief, non-technical 
description of the transmitter site.

XERB was the station south of Los Angeles where he also worked later. 
He talks about that one too.

But it was XERF that put him on the map as far away as Siberia.

He died in his driveway coming home from the first promotion tour for 
that book.
