I rtemember attending the first class of that course but could not find the time to actually take it.
Wish I had now of course , the background electric would come in real handy. If I am right that was the basic electric course in the science room ( yes we had a science room ) as a preliminary to getting into the necessary stuff for wiring up the station and knowing how things actually worked. I am sure that Bob Leudeman was in that class but don't remember who else waqs there or who stuck with it.
I did get to be on the air after the station was finished but never really felt like I earned my place like those who actually built the station. Maybe having been on the FGDU station before coming to FC got me in the door for the late night shift and heck I was usually awake then in any case so was an available voice for the redeye.

It was only after I began posting here that I found out what happened to all the albums I had loaned to the station when the person who " borrowed " them told me he had been the one to do that.
We did have quite a good selection and some of the FC student body obtained advance copies of some things before they got to the USA when they were in europe as well as some people having albums that were never sold here or had some differences from the versions that were sold here.

I thin we also had some crossover with the people who were doing the internet bit who built what they needed to hook up with the Dartmouth Mainframe which was a window in the middle of the night as I remember it.
So maybe Yev was part of the effort or maybe not.....
