Family Radio ministry started with a wrong turn in Oakland
Richard Palmquist met Harold Camping after making an illegal left turn in
Oakland.
It was 1958, and Palmquist was a salesman for Sacred Records. The wrong turn
brought him near a friend's house, and he stopped in for dinner.
Palmquist shared a business idea with the man and his wife.
"I told them I thought the Bay Area needed a Christian radio station, and my
friend told me, 'I know exactly who you should meet,'" said Palmquist, now 91
and living in Nipomo, near Pismo Beach.
Palmquist met Camping in April of that year, and Camping -- whose East Bay
construction company had just helped develop Jack London Square -- said he
would put up $5,000 in seed money.
With Camping's money they printed brochures soliciting donations and raised
$20,000 in loans. They bought Bay Area radio station KEIR, beginning the
ministry's journey down an often turbulent road, capped off by a 2011 Rapture
prediction that drew worldwide attention -- and ire.
Five years into the ministry, Palmquist was pushed out by Camping, who wanted
an executive director with a "larger stature," Palmquist said.
With offices on Hegenberger Road in Oakland, the nonprofit Family Radio now
reaches listeners around the world in 75 languages -- locally on 610 AM and
at?www.familyradio.com. It started as a station airing religious songs, hymns
and Bible studies, with no commercials.
"Family Radio had been one of the most legitimate, scandal-free religious
organizations on earth," said Matt Tuter, Camping's longtime second-in-command.
"Most of the people who built Family Radio are theologically conservative
people."
Camping began his Judgment Day predictions in the early 1990s.
"Harold is a numbers person. As he looks at the Bible, he looks at numbers,"
Palmquist said of the onetime UC Berkeley engineering student. "He's one of the
most ardent Bible students I've ever met.
"He was a very brilliant man. The irony in what he says is he tells listeners,
'Don't believe what I say, believe the Bible.' But the semantics get reversed,
because he wants them to actually believe what he tells them the Bible says."
After his 2011 stroke, Camping felt like his place in the ministry was over,
said board member Tom Evans. But at 91, Camping still comes into the Oakland
headquarters almost every day.
"His mind is still sharp," Evans said, although acknowledging Camping's memory
has suffered since his stroke and "he can no longer do detailed Bible study."
And Evans said Family Radio will continue after Camping is gone.
"Family Stations would continue to operate just fine without him," he said. "We
believe God is the power behind Family Radio."?By Matthias Gafni

** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 11665, May 13 at 1500, RA English is still usurping
MALAYSIA`s only 25m channel, poor signals but roughly equivalent, and RA //
stronger 12065 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 15340, May 13 at 1427, HCJB causes heavy CCI to RHC,
but after 1500 RHC is off, and at 1504, HCJB in the clear with Protestant
propaganda in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake May 13, before 1300:
13795, good at 1248
As ever now, all the others occupied by CNR1:
13830, fair at 1250
14750, very good at 1250
15570, fair at 1251, het on lo side from V. of TIbet
15870, poor at 1251
15900, poor at 1250
16100, good at 1255
16360, good at 1255
16920, good at 1256
17170, very good at 1257; none in the 18s
After 1300:
13795, still on with true Firedrake at 1308, now over some CCI
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 15430, May 13 at 1504, very heavy CCCCCCI, sounds like at
least three signals, two of which would be jamming against R. Free Asia,
Chinese this hour only via SAIPAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 17580, May 13 at 1427, RHC AWOL from this frequency, still
on 17730 et al. on lower bands. 15340 has heavy CCI from HCJB AUSTRALIA, q.v.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. 9800, May 13 at 0508, DW English via RWANDA, due south from
Kigali, has considerable CCI from algo, but can`t make out the language. HFCC
shows nothing else scheduled here, but there is of course the recent
almost-24-hour National Emergency Broadcast via the Shijuazhuang 723 site in
CHINA, the bullies, as in Aoki, which clashes with many existing 9800 users.
Either that or maybe Romania didn`t turn off 9800 by 0500, unlikely (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 21650, May 13 at 1259, VIRI IS with poor signal until 1300:21*, i.e.
tail of the Chinese hour, 65 degrees from 500 kW Kamalabad; meaning that
whatever next frequency from this unit would be late coming up. IRIB not often
audible here on 13m; at this time, Kuwait and Saudi were better than Spain
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 960, May 13 at 0501:25, KGWA Fox-hole of dead air except for hum
when nulled, audiblized a mixture of stuff including ABC news, but clearly
heard at this moment are the four descending ``XEW`` chimes which we know come
on 960 from XEK in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas. KGWA Enid continues to fill the
hole unpredictably but most nights is clear for a pentaminute (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 9700, May 13 at 1231, after missing yesterday, RNZI is back
here obviously on non-solid Timor antenna, with ``29 until 11`` time check
during `Checkpoint`, which is two hours late as local time is really 29 until 1
am (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, May 13 at 0053, R. Chaski carrier is weakly audible in all the
noise, hash & splash from 5990 Cuba, and I monitor continually with BFO. It
does go off circa 0100.0, but cannot hear a clear cut as it may have been in a
fade at that instant. So the timer has been reset.
Martien Groot has also been monitoring this: ``Hallo Glenn, Re: Chaski found
missing May 12 at 0103. Ute usually blocking 5980 was off May 11 at 2239
tune-in, instead noted what was definitely R Chaski completely in the clear
with Spanish announcements, preaching & hymns/praise songs to eventual 0059:45
early s/off May 12. Which explains why you could not trace them. As you suggest
they must have reset their timer. 73, Martien Groot, Schoorl, Netherlands``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1668 monitoring: confirmed Sunday May 12 starting at
2328:46 on WTWW-2 9930. This is exactly the same time it started on Saturday
May 11, so I conclude it is now controlled by computer/automation (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17720, May 13 at 1506, steady open carrier for a few seconds
before cutoff: maybe Greenville checking out a transmitter, altho nothing
scheduled from it or anything the next few hours on 17720. VOA often tunes up
on otherwise unused frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Hello
It's time to rattle the tin can to keep going
$35 a year is less than 70c/week or 10c/day
_____________________________________________
When I originally had the idea of bringing the stories and memories
of radio broadcasting together in just one place some 10 years ago, I
thought it would be a simple task, but boy, was I wrong.............
You see, every time one bit of the giant jigsaw puzzle falls into
place, it simply shows an even bigger picture with even more gaps!
It looks an impossible task........but thanks to people who believe
it's important to do something....anything.........to complete the
picture, here we are a decade later, still working on the project.
And, it's got bigger.............have you seen the new features about
radio broadcasting from 1953, 1963 and even 1988? These new Retro
Radio Dial stories are great, all the stations you never knew existed
and bundled up with the movies, music and books of those
times..........they're brand new, check them out at
www.radioheritage.net
Supporters are literally, dying
_______________________________
Sadly, many of the people who first talked with us about their own
experiences from the period leading up to the 1940's are no longer
with us, but you'll find their legacy woven through the hundreds of
features at www.radioheritage.net.
So on the down days, it's the thought of staying true to those
people.....of honoring their stories...... that keeps me
going.........
Why it works
____________
You know, you've got to want to see history kept, you've got to be
willing to share the memories, and you've got to be willing to make
sacrifices.......so you feel humbled when someone says......
* 'I remember that station, my Mom used to listen to it, here's the
badge she got as a girl from that station'
* 'My Dad worked at that station in the jungle, and here are some
photos he sent us back home. Will you let others see them please?'
* 'I never left my hometown, but I traveled the world
with my radio and I've got old books and letters and cards from the
people I heard and I'm afraid they'll all be thrown out when they
move me out. Thank you for taking care of them for me.'..............
Yes, radio has a way of connecting us all.......over the
years.........over the miles........and across
cultures.......countries....languages......all part of the big jigsaw
I mentioned earlier.
Yes, we solve people's problems
_______________________________
If you think we're solving a problem for you or someone else by
keeping on with the project of collecting these stories, photos,
memories and more, can I ask you to join the small group of people
who help make it possible by paying it forward so others can enjoy
the project at no cost?
We ended our financial year with no money in the bank, with 25% of
our overheads unpaid [$5,380], and after six weeks since April 1,
with another $2,600 unpaid......... and although our volunteers work
hard to keep the memories and features coming online..........it's
time to rattle the tin can..........
Less money but more people
__________________________
But we had 30% more people coming to the website last year, spending
many hours finding things they wanted, and enjoying the many new
features.........so I figure we're doing something right. It's just
that everyone thinks that if it's on the internet, it should be
available for free. Well, it is, but it costs us something to get it
there.
And that's where you come in. If you think we're doing good, if you
like what we're doing, and you think the project solves a problem for
you or someone else, and can do even more in the future, you can do
something very real and important right now by donating what you
figure it's worth to you to see us through this tough time.
You can make a difference
_________________________
The options are at www.radioheritage.net/Supporter.asp
Thanks so much, I hope we'll still be able to do what you want us to
do....and what you'd like us to do.....in the coming days and
weeks..........
75 people donating $35 today will clear our $2600 bill

Media Release
Retro Radio Dial 1953
Middle East/Central Asia
____________________
A fascinating look back 60 years ago to 1953 and the radio stations
that could be heard from the Middle East/Central Asia has just been
released by the Radio Heritage Foundation at www.radioheritage.com.
You'll find a complete list of stations along the dial from Cyprus
and Turkey in the west, Pakistan in the east, Saudi Arabia in the
south, and Georgia and Azerbaijan in the north and all points in
between.
Radio Pakistan has the strongest presence on the dial, and also had
the largest number of registered radio receivers by far. You'll find
many long gone radio stations, and others that have survived since
this turbulent year in the region.
This was a period less than 10 years after the end of WWII when
broadcasting was in its early days in the region. Many countries
simply did not have a local radio station of any kind and shortwave
was the main type of broadcasting, with few on mediumwave and none on
FM.
Retro Radio Dial Middle East/Central Asia 1953 is the latest of a new
series exploring the global radio dials at important times during the
last century. The Cold War was in full swing in this region.
This is the latest of a new series looking at radio broadcasting in
1953; due shortly are the Philippines, North Asia [centered on
China], South Asia [centered on India] and South East Asia [centered
on newly independent Indonesia.]
You'll also find popular movies of 1953, the top 20 songs of the
year, and recommended reading about the region of this era as well
as useful facts which all help contribute to understanding the
context of the 1953 radio dial in the Middle East/Central Asia.
The Radio Heritage Foundation is an independent non-profit
organization with no connections to the broadcasting industry or any
government agency, and is supported by people worldwide who think
it's important to protect radio memories for the future. Content at
www.radioheritage.com is free.
Come along and visit the Middle East/Central Asian radio dial in 1953
with us. There's even a place for you to share your own radio
memories or thoughts of those times.
We welcome your feedback on this new Retro Radio Dial series.
