Dirk Robinson
Dirk Robinson (Dirk Raaphorst) came to KYNO from KTOM in Salinas, California. Dirk was a native of the Netherlands and listened to Radio Veronica as a child. Dirk left KYNO after 2+ years for KLOK in San Jose, and later worked at K-101 in San Francisco. I haven’t had contact with Dirk for over a decade but he was out of the radio business at the time, living in Santa Cruz area and selling floor covering.
Another aircheck from a 7.5 ips reel to reel tape, it was recorded shortly after KYNO installed the Dorrough DAP 310 audio processor. On earlier airchecks in my Collection, KYNO was using a CBS Audimax and Volumax. The exact date of this one is unknown, but I believe it was May, 1974.
Dirk had the pleasure of interviewing Colin Kerr, owner of Rajah, a Canadian Mynah bird that would bring good luck to anyone who touched it. Also, you’ll hear KYNO newsman John Wallace who recently retired after a long career on Fresno TV stations KFSN and KJEO.
