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, BILL! Tonight at KMXT!

Stop by the station for Pizza and to say ALOHA to KMXT's own Billy Heckler! From 6 to midnight Friday the 15th, (that's tonight) it's the "Cruisen Music Show".

Bring a dish to share if you like and your requests. As we say farewell to Billy Heckler and wish him the best with his new assignment.

Maybe we can get him back to host next years Gong Show!!

"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.

Praise for "Kids Say The Darndest Things...."

I just ran across this blog from the crew of the Shanee and the following entry from Saturday:

Sunday, May 27, 2007 A glimpse of sun. Pictures, Part 2. The sun was flirting with us all day. It felt so great during the few times it poked through the grey. David arrived in the early morning from Anchorage. We worked hard all day on the boat. I mainly spliced lines dealing with the skiff tow bridle. I enjoyed the work. Its very meditative and we listened to some great music. Billy Bragg. REM. KYLIE. Beck. The Finches. Donovan. We also ventured into the Crab Festival for the first time. It never really changes, from year to year. We got fish and chips, fresh caught Kodiak cod. And the annual ice cream stand. $4 a pop, but well worth it. The days are counting down. We still have so damn much to do, and this 3-day weekend slows things down, with many local businesses and boat experts not working. I know we'll get it together though. The highlight of the day was listening to local Kodiak radio. They were doing a "Kids Say the Darndest Things"-type of thing. The host asked the kids "What would you be if you weren't a human?" One kid thought for a long time, and responded, "A Jesus."
More tomorrow!
