HOME schooled children and their parents have visited community radio station 2WAY FM 103.9 in Wauchope for a tour of its facilities and studio.
Hosted by Station President Dennis Owen and Treasurer Greg Hayward, the visitors were given a general overview of the operation.
Viewing presenters through the studio window proved enticing for the inquisitive minds.
On completion of an on-air show, the group went inside to hear about the various components of a broadcasting studio.
This was followed by a visit to the station’s technical room where data and communication server racks are secured.
The discussion then turned to how the signal from Wauchope goes out to the main antennae tower on Mount Cairncross, and then across the region.
More questions followed in “the green room”.
“It’s always nice to be able to show aspects of radio broadcasting to possible future young presenters,” Greg told News Of The Area.
One of the visiting parents wrote, “I want to express our heartfelt thanks for the wonderful experience you provided during our visit.”
