Like many college radio participants, I’m dreaming about my summer vacation; although in my case that also means cross-checking vacation plans with intriguing radio stations. In order to plan these tours in good conscience, I need to complete my tour reports from recent visits. College radio fans should definitely take a look at my latest piece, an in-depth look at high school radio station KVCB-LP in Vacaville, California. The LPFM HD station features shows from not only high school students, but also programs produced by middle schoolers and content created by kids in 3rd grade and up. Located within Vacaville Christian Schools’ Radio Conservatory, KVCB participants have built crystal radios, created and performed live sci-fi radio dramas, produced sound art, and take part in a weekly National High School Radio Network. On top of that, the station has mysterious Morse code and carrier current broadcasts.
