Exeter Cub Scout Pack 218 got to hear what they would sound
like on the radio. The pack visited the studio of stations KTMX and KAWL as
part of a go see it project for the Tiger Cubs.
Ten of the scouts got to see all the equipment that goes
into making a radio station work. The tour, given by DJ Mike Thomas,
helped the boys learn about the importance of radio communication especially
during bad weather.
The scouts also got to meet station owner/DJ Mark Jensen who
showed them one of the light bulbs from the radio tower that had just been
changed that afternoon. The scouts learned about the difference between
FM and AM frequencies and then got the opportunity to speak into the radio
microphones and record themselves. Thomas replayed their voices adding
music to the background and showing the boys how a commercial is made in the
studio.
Before heading for home the scouts stopped for an ice cream
treat.
