History

So, how did this camper become a radio station?

Here is the answer from Tony Lawson for an interview with a PBS radio show.

 How did you wind up using a camper as the home of your radio station?

We were looking for a place to put the radio station -- for a studio. We didn't have any money. I'd done some things with the campground a few years previous with the Bluegrass Festival. I went to Bob Moore, the campground director and said, "Bob, have you ever thought of having a radio station in this campground." And he said," No, I don't think I have." And I said, "Well, we have a radio station and I really need a place to put it. It needs to reach this mountaintop over here and from here we can do that." And he said, "Well, do you have a camper? No. And then he says, "Well, I've one down here, I don't know whether it's going to be big enough or not, but I'll show it to you." And he took me down and showed me the camper, and I said, "This is plenty big enough. And the next day he pulled it up and we put the radio station in the camper. And that was a great launching point for WDVX. I can't say enough about it. It's great to have a nice little cozy place to feel secure.
