Top 5 in the World
__________________
US magazine 'Popular Communications' named us as one of the world's Top 5 QSL [Radio Heritage] Collections in April.....and it's thanks to people like you who send their collections to us for safekeeping that we've achieved this honor....in some cases, these cards and letters are all that remain of too many radio stations. Email us about your radio memorabilia today.
Images from these collections help make our articles and stories more entertaining too...the old story of a picture being worth a thousand words...and you'll enjoy some great images [and much more besides] in our new articles:
Antarctic Radio Unfreezes
& Early Argentine Radio
_________________________
Antarctic Radio Unfreezes takes you for an introductory glide along the radio dial at places like McMurdo Station and the South Pole....over 10 stations on air across the frozen wastes...Early Argentina Radio explores how broadcasting began in the 1920's, the connections with the Pacific and check out the Eva Peron photo......
AFRS Mosquito Network
_____________________
The AFRS [Armed Forces Radio Service] Mosquito Network features in a scholarly trio of new articles, based on interviews with many of the original broadcasters and access to private collections....and examines how radio first reached the Solomon Islands and the New Hebrides in World War II.
You'll enjoy AFRS Guadalcanal, AFRS Radio City and AFRS Mosquito Bites...the latest in our popular AFRS research series. Check out AFRS Jungle Network, AFRS Japan, AFRS Alaska, AFRS China-Burma-India and many more.......
2LT Lithgow and more Aussies
+ the 2ZA Exhibition Extends
____________________________
Coming in the next week or so are, finally, more from our Long Lost Australian Radio Stars series...2LT Lithgow, 2BH Broken Hill andothers. These are incredibly popular, along with our Australia Radio Dial 1931 exhibition. Good on ya mate!
Talking of exhibitions, Te Manawa Museum in Palmerston North [NZ] has extended the display for 2ZA Voice of the Manawatu. This social history exhibition includes a full size replica of the original 2ZA studios and offices, full of sounds, images and artifacts of a regional commercial radio station from the 1930's.
If you can't get there, don't worry. We'll be bringing the exhibition online here at www.radioheritage.net later this year as a permanent record of this fantastic exhibition.
