First words on the air:
- "Is THIS the damn switch!?" (according to Brad Brown, from the current station staff's About KCPR page)
- Frank Calabrese told me early-on that the first words spoken over KCPR were, "Christ! Are we on the air?" This was before the license had even arrived, bootlegging using the stolen KCSB Phasitron transmitter. (from Jan A. Tarsala, KCPR engineer 1975-77)
