Strange things used to take place on the Graveyard Shift!
Working Midnight to 6 a.m., the phone traffic dropped off after 2:30 a.m......So Mark Denis and I would call each other and chat for an hour or so. We would win each other stations contests. I ended up with K/men's albums and Mark went to the movies courtesy of KFXM. One night we called the only othe all-night operation on the market, KPRO, and got it's DJ in on the action. But alas, he was too boring, and we dropped him. After work, Mark and I often met met for breakfast and personally deliver our winnings.
