Tiger Radio

As
I recall, if you wanted to tune into a radio station while at camp back in the
1960’s, KFXM, 590 on the AM dial, was about your only choice.
It
wasn’t a bad choice at all – just the only one – at least on the small
transistor radio tucked away in our plywood dwelling out in Sherwood Forest,
and a couple of summers later holed up in The Land of Nod (old Commissioner
Area C – Cherokee, Blackfoot, Geronimo, and Tielroy).
I
grew so fond of the 590 format, the DJ’s, the songs (obviously) that I would
try to tune it in back home – hoping to catch a tune that would remind me of
the summer of 1966, 1968, or 1969.
If
atmospheric conditions were right, I could hold the distant station while I did
homework in my room, or falling asleep - all the while hoping to hear something
from the Grass Roots, Dylan, or Elvis, just one more time.
