For the past few weeks, the most popular search term here at
www.radioheritage.net has been 'Christmas Radio', so here're three
Pacific Christmas stories you'll enjoy this holiday season.


Adrian Peterson's latest column features a Christmas time broadcast
in 1938 from PITC Radio, the shortwave broadcaster from Pitcairn
Island. This is the latest in his 'Radio to the Rescue' series, and
it's a story with a personal twist.


There are amazing photos of broadcasting on Pitcairn as well,
including the inside of the local ham shack in the 1950's, a photo of
the 1930's shortwave transmitter, and inside and outside photos of
the Royal NZ Air Force shortwave station on the island in the 1940's.


Next is the story of Christmas Island Radio, located in London.
There's no snow in this town though, as this is the story about the
building of a local community radio station on lonely Christmas
Island in Kiribati, in the center of the South Pacific.


Finally, come celebrate the 60th anniversary of Christmas 1945 in
Tokyo, Japan. This is a fabulously illustrated item about WVTR, the
Armed Forces Radio Service station that had been on the air for just
a few months. See how Christmas was celebrated at this new station
serving troops in occupied Japan.


And, if you're interested in other AFRS Japan stations, check out our
latest listing of every known outlet, plus more great images from the
1940's and 1950's.


All on line now at www.radioheritage.net, all free access, and a
small way of sharing this Christmas season with our friends from
around the Pacific and across the world.


Happy Holidays!
