I first logged XEG on April 5, 1979 as a 13-year-old new to the hobby (relatively). I was using my brand-new GE Superadio I, and I definitely remember the PO Box and the "St. Louis 66, Missouri" ID and thinking it weird and archaic at the time.
This was from my parents' QTH near Chicago.

XEG-1050 was logged on Long island in 1973 during a WHN silent period.
Out of the mush came a channel topping TOH ID,"X-E-G, with 150-thousand
watts of power." Logged on a Panasonic tabletop AM/FM radio. Received a
nice B&W photo QSL card of their Xmtr building and tower in a desert
setting with Saddleback Mountain in the distance. QSL says 100,000 watts
- must have been old by then!

mentions in the first two clips as well (plus I recognize the
announcer's voice!). Definitely a pest here in Missouri over the past
45 years, though they aren't as strong as they used to be. I still
remember them running English-language preachers at night, with a
mailing address of "St.Louis 66, Missouri"(!).
