    3. Billie, The article about "KNX" and the "Arizona Wranglers" brought many memories of Modoc County in the 1930's. Radio reception was pretty poor in those days and the only reliable stations for the Modoc crowd was KNX, a station located in Los Angeles, and another station received from Salt Lake City, Utah. Something about the air waves brought those two stations in loud and clear. I used to listen to the Salt Lake City station at night in my bedroom after 10:00 PM because it was classical music. I could usually only get in about 30 minutes before my folks would discover what was going on and turned off my little Majestic radio with the owl that timed the radio for turn-off. The Arizona Wrangles came to Romero Lodge, one week-end in the early thirties. They filled the lodge with Modoc people starved to hear some real live music. Everybody came and brought their kids to enjoy this big event. They used to have many dances at the Romero Lodge, located between Likely and Alturas, until it burned and was never replaced.
