Ponderings from the Volunteer Coordinator


The sun is out and all is good with the world. Summer is moving along at a pretty good clip with Solstice here in just a few days.

I hope everyone is having a great summer. Whether your traveling off island or staying put, with our internet stream you can tune in to KMXT either way.

Volunteers, keep in touch. There is alot of transition in the summer, meaning lots of shifts available. Give me a call and I will get you scheduled.

As always let us here at KMXT know what you think about what your hearing. Local or National shows, we want your opinion. There is an online survey on the KMXT website at kmxt.org or you can leave comments here on the blog. You can also leave comments on the website. Talk to us!

OK I guess that's it for now, have a great summer!

Goodbye Cake Says it all!


Decorated by KMXT station Engineer, Joe Stevens, this cake had special meaning for those who know Radio Speak.

KMXT our call letters, NOJ Bills work call letters, 73 Billy, means Best Wishes. And the Morse Code says "Signing off".

Thanks Joe for the educational Cake :) A good time was had by the well wishers who stopped by Friday night to wish On-air Volunteer and KMXT Board Member, Billy Heckler, the best as he leaves Kodiak Island.

"Aloha" Party for Billy Heckler


It is sad but true, we will be losing the "Cruisen Music Show". Unfortunately our “Cruisin’ Music” host, Billy “Rockfish” Heckler, is leaving the island. He has been a positive addition to the station with his infectious energy and humor, and will be missed.

Billy has not only been on the air, but served on our board of directors as well.
Billy was here serving as Senior Master Chief at ComSta but as happens with all Coast Guardsmen, it is time to move on, his tour is over.

Billy is an example of the quality of volunteers KMXT is fortunate to get from the Kodiak Coast Guard Base.

The farewell "Cruisen Show" is happening Friday June 15th from 7 to midnight. Everyone is invited to call in or stop by Friday night between 7:30 and midnight to wish Billy the best and get those requests in!

Actually you will have one more chance to hear Bill on the air Sunday night as he hosts his final show, Nite Lite from 8 to 11 on Father's Day. But Friday will be the "Aloha Billy" Party. Questions call 486-3181. Snacks will be provided, but feel free to bring a dish to share.
