n 1964 KGMG, Portland’s classical station, went off the air. Music enthusiast Lloyde Livingstone wrote in a letter to the Oregon Journal, published on IMay 30 of that same year, “Are there others eager to engage against ‘air pollution’ and bring listener-supported radio to Portland?” There were.

Lawyer Bernard Fedde filed for incorporation as “Listener Supported Radio” on July 17. Signing the papers were Fedde, Livingstone, Carl Bachhuber, Alfred Bork, Maria Derungs, John Dudman, Ern Hood, Dr. Richard Kosterlitz, Sol Peck, Miriam Rosenfeld, Charles Sax, Alan Skei, William Southwell, Amo Stenovec, and Agnes William.

Meanwhile, in Seattle, Lorenzo Milam Are there others was running the KRAB community radio eager to engage station. Lloyde reached out for help. In a against ‘air pollution’ 2002 interview with KBOO volunteer Bruce and bring listener- Silverman, Lorenzo says, “[Lloyde Livingstone] supported radio to 50yearsofkboo.fm wanted us to start a KRAB-like station for the community. I said sure, and hung up, and Portland? is the story of anyone who forgot all about it... She was always very nice, — Lloyde Livingstone KBOO’s story ever joined up, stopped by or but she was always very insistent. Finally, just tuned in.

Board member John Parkhurst found a new location for the station, downtown at 65 SW Yamhill Street. 6 7 The 1970s

Eventually volunteers programmed a local schedule, which they then broadcast from Portland to KRAB, and within the KRAB Nebula, a circuit of community radio stations that Lorenzo Milam helped to start.
