May 1, 1984, is a day in history many may not remember. There were no major world events or major announcements from large companies. However, in the small town of Rexburg, Idaho, on the campus of Ricks College, a major event did happen. The campus radio station went full power, 75,000 watts, on 100.5 FM. Now, 40 years later, BYU-Idaho Radio is celebrating the milestone.
