KFRC, like many stations in the early ’80’s, bought one of those big GM motorhomes (dual rear wheels … big windows on the side) to use as a mobile studio. KFRC nicknamed theirs The Sturgeon.
PD Gerry Cagle decided to take “The Sturgeon”, equipped with a 14-channel Pacific Recorders console and nine cart machines – put the entire air staff (except Dr. Don Rose) in it, and drive it from KFRC’s downtown San Francisco studios to Sausalito, and back – bouncing the signal off a small plane circling over the motorhome during the two-hour round trip.
Jack Armstrong anchors the proceedings; it was his shift. He is joined by Bill Lee, Sandy Louie, Mark McKay, Sue Hall, Dave Sholin and Thom O’Hair.
Jack Armstrong passed away March 22, 2008 at his home in North Carolina. Thanks to The Slim One for providing a longer version of this exhibit.
