I well remember XERF when I was in the Navy and as a Radioman on the USS 
Burrfish submarine during our Mediterranean Sea cruise I could pickup the 
station on our communications receiver and would pipe their programming (as 
I recall, it was C&W music) throughout our submarine for all to hear.  This 
was around 1950 and they obviously had a potent signal!  They used Del Rio, 
Texas as their QTH when doing station ID.
