This was my first radio station. The first one I built, the first time I worked
as a jock.I worked all day parts in the many formats we offered as a Public
Radio station: AOR, CHR, Alternative, Classic Rock, Country, Oldies, Big Bands
and Show Tunes; Produced, engineered and hosted news and public affairs talk shows;
Engineered 250W FM transmitter, and RPU and two studios, all built by Rich Green,
Lee Schrader and myself. I left to work at a commercial station.

This was the first station I know of to program DIRECTLY
at Baby-Boomers. It was just like "WKRP In Cincinnati."

This was the first job I got for my Production talent, the only
radio job that fired me. I was young and worked too hard helping
out the engineers during the format/ownership change, rather than
worry about tryingcovering my ass. I learned some valuable lessons here:

It's hard to believe I left a perfectly good Engineering job for this, but
it was important to me to get some real-world experience under my belt.
This was the first AM radio station I worked at. It sat way outside of
town, next to a cow pasture. I had a chance to get a look at the place
back in the late 90's, nothing had changed. The equipment was different,
and they were completely automated, but it had the same bright orange
paint on the doors and the same brown carpet on the floor.

This was the first station I got to REALLY get into production.
When my friend Gary quit KGAL and became Program Director here,
I jumped at the chance to do something more than weekends, part-time.
