A couple of F-105 memories from another Grahm Junior College survivor:

1)  In 1979, I can remember getting off the 7-Midnight shift at LNH, Laconia, NH 
and getting together with another jock until 3 in the morning for the sole purpose 
of listening to F-105. (off the cable)  Not for the music.  Specifcially for their 
1/4 hour recorded promos.  They were intense.

2) The greatest radio promotion I ever heard was when Dale Dorman (just after 
leaving RKO)  ran around Metro Boston for F-105 smashing peoples AM Radios, 
and replacing them with FM Stereos.  You literally heard Dale get out of the van 
run into a listners house, and smash the radios (I think with a sledgehammer). 
Exceptional theatre of the mind.

That along with early BCN Duane Glasscock (fake rerun of Boston Maraton for 
Rosie Ruiz-sp) the most inspiring radio events I can remember.
