Good News May 2011

Hello, I'd like to give you some good news about how your support and interest is making it possible to do more in 2011 to help tell more people about the good role that radio plays in our daily lives.....and how we're able to record more of this good news at
www.radioheritage.com.

Most of us live busy lives, with many calls on our time, knowledge and resources, so firstly, thanks for taking some time today to catch up with us in what I hope will become a more regular [and thus shorter] message!

You've heard of Elvis Presley? Did you know it's now 50 years since he released a great record called 'Blue Hawaii' and starred in a movie of the same name? So to celebrate, visit
www.radioheritage.com for our latest feature which connects Elvis [popular culture], old movies and songs [nostalgia] and the Hawaiian Radio Dial in 1961 [radio heritage]........and watch out for our new "Blue Hawaii Competition" which we'll announce in a few days......

Fans of Australian radio will enjoy the new Long Lost Australian Radio Stars features: 2UW Sydney 'The Station All Australia Knows', 2MO Gunnedah 'A Fine Station in a Fine District', 2HD Newcastle, 2GZ Central NSW 'Country Service' and 2BS Bathurst 'Centre of the West'.....now over 40 of these features are available at
www.radioheritage.com..so please enjoy them.......

The recent ANZAC Day [April 25] commemorations encouraged us to add a brand new feature 'Fighting Voices from Downunder' tracing radio 'in action' from 1939 through to 1970. This includes Australian, New Zealand and American radio services through several shared conflicts of that time.

You'll also find coverage of the Christchurch [NZ] Earthquake and the mobile radio station we arranged to have broadcast from the city within a couple of weeks, 2ZW The Voice of the Capital City, and a completely expanded Bookstore & More at
www.radioheritage.com...now with 200+ hand picked books..and our Top 5 Books of the Month for May....the ARRL Antenna Book, Fresh Air, Champagne & Caviar, Radio Shangri-La and the World Radio TV Handbook 2011...........all great reading, and book bargains from just 1c as well..

In the coming weeks you'll find more changes at
www.radioheritage.com as we work with our new on-line publisher Chris Mackerell to make the website easier to read, less cluttered, and with more new features.

This is part of the good news that you're helping make possible, with 35 donors coming foward since January to help us cover our daily operational costs...we just need 23 more at US$100 each to fully cover those costs to April 30....and you'll shortly receive a special request to become one of these 23 supporters.

In the meantime, you can visit
