(the area averages about 160 inches of rainfall each year.) The station's first broadcast, on May 22, 1976, opened with the song, "The Fool," by Quicksilver Messenger Service on volunteer Tom Miller's show, "Odds and Ends." At that time, the station had seven licensed volunteers, each one covering a day of the week, and each one responsible for recruiting more volunteers. At first, the station operated out of a single apartment space on the first floor of the 10-story Marine View Building. As it continued to grow, KRBD increased power to its current 3,400 watts and moved to a downtown the area location at 716 Totem Way, overlooking the area Creek. At one point in the 1980s, the station had 10 employees and was able to send them to various training opportunities in and outside of Alaska. Its volunteer crew also grew, numbering as many as 90 in its heyday in the 1980s. By 2007, the station had about four employees and a much reduced volunteer corp. Throughout its history, volunteers have played an important role in operating the station, especially in producing its varied music programming. In the early 1990s, the station moved yet again, when it purchased the building at 123 Stedman Street, a few doors down the street from Totem Way. KRBD is a non-commercial radio station in the area, Alaska, broadcasting on The station FM. The station airs public radio programming from the National Public Radio network, the BBC World Service, and is a member of CoastAlaska. KRBD also airs some locally originated programming. As with many radio stations, the name is an abbreviation. Its 10-watt transmitter broadcast mostly to listeners within a few miles of the area's West End neighborhood. The community licensee was conceived of and built by volunteers.
