Boy Scouts Visit WRBC

In an effort to learn communication skills, a troup of Boy Scouts from Lisbon came to visit WRBC.The WRBC board led the group of 15 or so 10 year olds around the station and explained how WRBC works.

Alex Hernandez '09, the tech director, covered topics such as FM vs Am frequency and the complex inter workings of the transmitter and radio antenna. Jamie Donahue '10, the music director, explained how record companies send pre-released album copies to aid the distribution efforts of "up and coming" artists.

The Boy Scouts seemed to enjoy their visit and even got to voice the WRBC FCC call letters live on the air. Bates is always trying to engage with the Lewiston-Auburn community and WRBC is great tool to make that vision possible.
