  Rob Quicke wrote, produced and narrated a documentary about WXAV-FM.
  ...
  "From a Phone Booth to the World" also serves as a swan song for Rob Quicke, who produced and narrated the documentary.
  
  "It's a success story that deserves to be told," he said.
  
  'From zip to hip'
  
  After nearly six years as director of student media -- an unprecedented growth period marked by 11 awards, switching to 24-7 programming and launching The X's streaming Internet radio -- Quicke is leaving for William Patterson University in New Jersey.
  
  "We took WXAV from zip to hip in only a few years," he said."We've been making magic here."
  
  Quicke is a 32-year-old Englishman who helped set up Britain's first student-run FM radio station at Oxford University.After graduation, he produced segments for PR Newswire and the BBC until his American wife urged him to move to Chicago.
  
  In 2001, he landed the gig at Saint Xavier and found the station "in a difficult spot."
  
  "No one was listening," he said Monday, his last day on the job."We didn't have much of an audience.We were low profile on campus and in the community.And our technology desperately needed an update."
  
  Quicke and John Pelrine, then dean of students, fought for more than $20,000 in new equipment, including a digital library that now has 17,375 songs.
  ...
  "We have listeners all over the region, and in Egypt, Ireland and Germany," Quicke said."We had a listenership in China and one day they disappeared.We think they got busted."
  
  'You have to start somewhere'
  
  Inspired by the station's achievements and determined to leave a legacy, Quicke began researching WXAV's roots.He was fascinated by what he learned.
  ...
  Quicke interviewed more than 20 people, collecting at least seven hours of tape.It took him 120 hours to edit the material into a 55-minute piece.
  
  "I meant it to be 15 minutes, then 30 minutes, then I had to try to cut it to keep it under an hour," he said.
  ...
  "They have different stories but all gave so much to The X," Quicke said.
  
  Quicke hopes sharing the WXAV story may inspire other dreamers to aim big.
  
  "Our story is about the little station that could," he said.
