-------------------------- Armed Forces Radio Alaska --------------------------
Cool news. The Radio Heritage Foundation's www.radioheritage.net website has added rare new material about AFRS broadcasting in Alaska. There's a detailed list of some 40 stations that were on air during WWII and through the 1950's, as well as photos of WXLJ Cold Bay and WVUG Fort Greely in the 1940's. February 2006 marks the 65th anniversary of the very first AFRS broadcasts, from KRB Sitka, followed soon after by KODK Kodiak. This article is released to encourage people with more information about any of these long gone stations to share their stories at www.radioheritage.net. The first such personal story is entitled 'The Suggestive Sounds of WVUG Anchorage', and DJ Don Purvis spins tales from his 1946-47 time at the station, and shares some great old photos of WVUG 1450 AM. Read about how local female telephone operators helped make WVUG a very popular and listened to radio station, driving local military police crazy in the process. 'AFRS Alaska' and 'WVUG Anchorage', just two of the new stories now on line at www.radioheritage.net.
