Welcome to our photo page!
   This building is the home to the main studio and offices of KZ88! The building is constructed of local stone. It was built in 1936. It's located at 1211 Ozark Street (West Business 60) in Cabool, Missouri. Inside is a stone fireplace which was built by someone with a sense of humor.
   Director and Operations Manager Kazie Perkins has been active in local theater. Here she plays the part of a seamstress in the play "Rebecca". Kazie is on the right. The play was performed inWillow Springs in February.
   Gene Colliflower is another Director and News Director for KZ88. Shown here is Gene providing a report on local and state voting for the Super Tuesday election last February.
 
 
   Chad and Willie had the major task of creating a soundproof wall between our main studio and restroom. We're proud to announce that the new wall successfully passed the flush test. These two spent a few days volunteering and made not only what we needed, but a great looking wall. Thanks!
  Could the real reason for the smiles be that a long day of work was over? A lot of work was done. Old carpet removed, walls and ceilings scraped in preparation for new paint. This was part of the group that showed up at our first work day at the station. The smiling lady on the left even brought a wonderful spice cake to the gathering. MMMmmm...cake. By the way, the group is standing in what will be our newsroom. Thanks to all for all of the help!!!
 
 Work at the tower site has been progressing quickly as weather permits. Here you can see the forms for the concrete base of the transmitter building. In the background our underground power feed is being trenched.
   Here's the finished pad just about ready for the transmitter building. 

 How many electricians does it take to screw in a lightbulb? It might make a great joke, but these two took our electrical needs seriously. Thank you for your great work! 
   For a while our newsroom served double duty as a place to store equipment awaiting installation. 
Several vicious trees were tamed thanks to the further efforts of Chad and Willie. Yes that is what seemed like perpetual ice on the ground.
Five stories up our engineer prepares one part of our studio transmitter link. The system will allow us to have a "city cam" on our website.
This is the brand new still-in-the-plastic mixer board in our master control room. It can handle 24 stereo inputs.
This is our transmitter building in the process of being delivered. Unfortunately it would take another crew to put it in place.
 Who would think it would take so much cement to build a radio station. The pole being set is the support for our satellite dish. In the background you can see the bottom STL tower section.
Our News Director Gene is as happy as the rest of us about our transmitter installation.
Here's a view of our master control center. Well actually it's our only control room, but master control sounds so much more important. KZ88 volunteers get to work with the latest equipment and technology. You give us time and you get valuable new skills, have fun, and support community radio.
News Director Gene Colliflower has developed a following for his traffic reports. Since we are not in a major metropolitan area some of the information may be less than useful, but it's fun and it's local.
This is part of our transmission facility. Our entire system is networked together so we can monitor and control just about anything from anywhere on the network. For techie types: We're using a Vorsis audio processor, Burk remote control system with web interface, Henry silence sensor, a pc for backup programming and telemetry. Our transmitter is made by Broadcast Electronics and is a solid state model. Our antenna, not shown, was made by Shively.
