[grc] Archives, artifacts, and the KRAB Nebula

[Charles Reinsch]

Hello GRC,

About six years ago I took on the role of archivist for radio station 
KRAB, formerly of Seattle.  KRAB had a relatively short life, from 1962 
to 1984, but had an enormous affect on those that it touched.  It was 
Lorenzo Milam's first radio station.

I assumed this role after years of volunteering and staffing KRAB, and 
eventually serving on the board of directors of the corporation that 
owned and operated the station.  It was that last position that became 
the straw that, after 23 years, broke the camel's back and sent me off 
into the world on other pursuits. But in 2012 I came back, sort of, and 
am now the person behind, or under, the KRAB archive,

This email is my reaching out to stations, and people, that were 
participants in the tape exchange once called the "KRAB Nebula", that 
became the "Possible Tape Exchange", and eventually the "NFCB Program 
Exchange".  KRAB, KBOO, KTAO, KDNA, KOPN, KPOO, KUSP, WORT, WYSO, and 
for a blip KCHU, were all Nebula stations. Some of these stations, like 
KRAB, have passed, or have moved on to other formats.  Some of the call 
letters are now being used by different entities.  Oh well.

Anyway, I am curious if any of you out there in GRC land have artifacts 
or memories you would be willing to share.

And, I hope you are curious enough to check out the online archive 
www.krabarchive.com

Now, back to regular programming,

Chuck Reinsch
