And XERB transmitted from Rosarito Beach, that is the what the RB stands for but ever since Rosarito became it's own municipality and no longer a part of Tijuana, were the transmitter is, no longer belongs to Rosarito, actualy it is in San Antonio de los Buenos wich remained as part of Tijuana.

The mighty 690. Heck, I thought Wolf Man was black until I saw him at El Monte Legion Stadium.

Interesting that so many of you recall Wolfman from his days in Baja. when he was doing his thing out of Del Rio TX, the signal reached almost all the way across the United States. Long haul truckers were among his fans. As someone who grew up on the East Coast, I had wondered initially what became of Jack when he disappeared from the Del Rio gig. My recollection was that although the ridiculous 250,000 watt transmitter was in Ciudad Acuna, that he did his work North of the Border. By the way, many years ago, Mexico signed treaties that eliminated such powerful transmitters.

Wolfman Jack out of Del Rio Texas (50,000 watt clear channel)

It was the most awesome show to listen too...
