description: Hi Yes a long time ago. A local FM station that played mixed stuff. Everything was phono based but we had some really cool reel to reel recorders (Crown, Magnicord, Ampex). It was kind of fun for a while, but like most things I seemed to get involved with back then the mystique wore off after about a year and I moved on. One of the best things about it was you could order LPs directly from Columbia for $1 for mono and 1.25 for stereo. As many as you wanted. I had a lot of Columbia (and its affiliates) LPs back then.

description: Yes, I've never gotten the impression that the DJs and engineers made much money. As for their enjoyment level, naturally they are going to sound enthusiastic on air, and I hope they really do enjoy their jobs.
