[HOE] Radio Stations of the Apocolypse...

["Ray C." <r_a_c_@hotmail.com>]

Well...  One station I used to annoy the hell out of my group when I ran 
HoE, and another I just came up with, after finally getting my hands on 
"Six-String Samurai", a really cheesy B-Grade Independant film that's 
*PERFECT* for HoE.  (It has Buddy Holly going to take over for Elvis as King 
of Rock & Roll, 'Nuff said.).

Anyhow, two radio stations that are able to be heard all throughout the 
Wastelands...

ZMBY:  The All-Zombie Radio Network!  All the greatest hits like the Blues 
classic "Brains for Breakfast, Brains for Dinner", the Love Song "Brains, 
Brains, Beautiful Brains", the Country and Western "My Brains Got Run Over 
By A Chevy"...  And many more!!!  Also the occasional Boy Band and Disco 
song, just to make it even more evil!  ZMBY can be heard (And will be, you 
can't turn it off) on any radio that is "Dead"...  EMPed, guts ripped out, 
ect.  It'll just pop on one day with ZMBY blaring out of it, even without 
power!  ZMBY is mostly used to show just how weird things have gotten...  
And to annoy the hell out of the group (A Junker grabs an old radio he's 
thinking of fixing, and forgets it in his backpack...  Think about it!).

XERF:  Home of the Wolfman!  "Wolfman" Jack (Real Name:  Robert Weston 
Smith) who died, literally, in his wife's arms in 1995.  As with alot of 
people in the Deadlands Universe, he got better, and made an unliving as a 
Wolfman Jack impersonator (He was considered a poor impersonator for the 
most part).  The Manitou that is sharing headspace with him is a little odd 
in the fact that it's as much a music fan as he is, and is quite content 
with getting on with the business of being a DJ (Although if death, 
destruction, carnage, chaos and donuts are made available, it's there!).

The Wolfman was, somehow, able to strike a deal with the Spirits of Radio 
(The Tech Spirits of Dead Radios to be more exact) to transmit his signal to 
any and all who would wish to hear his tunes, set up a small shack in the 
middle of the desert, and named it after the Station that he worked out of 
Mexico in the 1950's and 1960's.  He plays all the greatest Rock & Roll 
tunes from then and now, and is always looking for new songs (And you can 
get your name on the air!).  His signal can be picked up on any Radio in 
North America (And possibly beyond!), by setting the dial to FM 66.6 (In 
deference to his Manitou, to keep it happy), and using the ears from there.

He was also able to cut a deal with the Spirit of Ma Bell, and can be phoned 
from any telephone still able to function (even if not connected to a 
Telephone System!), thru his hotline "555-Unlisted".  Stone is a common 
caller, giving out dedications to those he is hunting, and seems partial to 
requesting Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust" when he does so.
