Re: [HOE] Radio Stations of the Apocolypse...

  Clever stuff, I think i'll throw ZMBY at my posse some time.

and the wolfman is cool too. ever see American Grafiti? it has a young
Harrison Ford, Ron Howard, and Richard Dreyfus in it. Also has the
Wolfman himself, contstantly on the air during the movie and one
character actually gets to meet him.

I had an idea for a radio station based out of Oil town. the DJ was a
Texas Ranger Cyborg before the war. her last rules of engagment kept her
within a 100 mile radius of what is now oil town and requires her to make
mulitple broadcasts to HQ everyday. She knows there is no HQ anymore but
her AI doesn't. being a big music lover, she has collected a lot of muaic
and stored it in her internal data slugs and constantly broadcasts her
musical selection. being a southern girl, most of her music is country,
but she throws in other music to keep the locals happy. she has a large
range of broadcast adn cruises around the surround areas keeping and eye
out for creeps and critters. she's on the Combines Hitlist if they ever
make a strike on oil town since she can be instrumental in communications
