I did work on the air, but that wasn't until 1977. I was a senior at OU, 
and started working at KOMA in the Spring of 1977. I had a first phone 
(!), and they still needed those tickets when the station was on night 
pattern. Everything evolved from there. I worked under CE Ray Klotz, 
then returned to KOMA two more times, the last ending in 1997. No reverb 
on my watch-just a Shure mic mixer/compressor, 4 ITC SP-0001 cart decks, 
an RE-20 mic and a Gates Executive console! Ah, the days!
