KFSG Los Angeles serial continues
WWL New Orleans now on Shortwave

Part 3 of the KFSG Story has now been added to www.radioheritage.net.
This Los Angeles station opened some 80 years ago at a cost of
$25,000 and became the pulpit for famed female evangelist Aimee
Semple McPherson and her Four Square Gospel [KFSG] Church.

The opening attracted the who's who of LA society, the broadcast
stage was designed by Charlie Chaplin, and the station was soon heard
across the USA and as far away as New Zealand.

Noted US radio historian Jim Hilliker continues his well researched
story of Aimee, her engineer boyfriend and the now silent KFSG at
www.radioheritage.net. 

Also now on-line is the latest monthly column from Indiana based
broadcaster and radio historian, Adrian Peterson.

In his commentary, Adrian looks at the impact of Hurricane Katrina on
WWL New Orleans, and its recent shortlived return to shortwave relays
to provide a service for residents and to help other New Orleans
stations.

Adrian adds a fascinating historic angle to these recent WWL
shortwave broadcasts and this very topical item is well worth reading.

There's always something new at www.radioheritage.net, so visit often
and also check out the on-line store with great radio book deals and
exclusive merchandise featuring images from the on-line exhibition
the Art of Radio (c) Japan.

Warm regards
