   I don't remember exactly what the frequency was... it was probably before   
   both our times... but I read about it once. IIRC, they were on longwave   
   (the part that is no longer used for AM radio) and had to move "up" the   
   dial once that part of the band was designated for other uses. I *think*   
   they may have been at 340.

   As a kid, I am sure I would have enjoyed that. Don't think I ever heard   
   it, though. ;)
