Some Disc Jockeys from Hot 98.3 stopped by the radio station to see our students and get a tour of our studios. D-Wayne Chavez, DJ Pablo & Hospe did some interviews, took some pictures and even did a live segment in our booth.

[Check Out Video]

They invited our kids to visit their studios in the near future. I’m sure they will be taking advantage of that opportunity.

(Hot 98.3 was here as part of our quarterly Career Fair held during both lunches.)

Pueblo Radio & Amateur Astronomy Club

The Pueblo Radio and Amateur Astronomy Club is now full functioning.  A website was developed to demonstrate their involvement in “slewing” professional telescopes in Norway, Puerto Rico, The Netherlands, New Mexico, Chile, Hawaii and Australia.

Jhovana Peralta, Yaritza Martinez-Cano, Marcus Nesbitt and Mylene Martinez are the “sky pioneers” at Pueblo.  They will shortly begin taking images of faraway places and events.  They have seen their first picture of a black hole consuming neighboring galaxies; how many of us will ever be able to say that?
