Hard to believe it’s 50 years ago now.  Station CFR pirate radio operated by a bunch of guys from
the Hartford CT area.  Were any of them hams, and or AMers?  Anyone here on the forum go to the concert? Just like Woodstock, I had to work that weekend.

Son Ben, who apparently listens to some Deadhead podcasts was just telling me about this pirate station up at Watkins Glen back then. Came up during a podcast about the show on its 50th anniversary.
