AFRTS Ethiopia
Sam Hale was the station manager at the station in Eritrea 1957-58. He's working on the history of AFRTS Kagnew Station. This is well researched and a work in progress.

AFN February 1991
Bernhard in Germany sent this along. I've presented piecces before. The first Gulf War would end any day. The broadcast was from AFN SHAPE.
AFN SHAPE 2/14/91 4 hours
He didn't want to miss hearing the end of the war on AFN so he started a reel in the morning. It's full of surprises.
Bill Stewart 1968
Bill loved his jazz. For a while he was a very successful rock jock but this was his music. He was having a "Musical Bill Affair" well into the 1970s.

AFN is off the air ...
May 25, 2011- The American Forces Network Europe (AFNE) is adjusting its radio broadcast signals to help State German officials hosting a huge outdoor multi-concert bash, Hessentag.
German telecommunications officials asked AFN to temporarily turn off the 873 AM transmitter in June because heavy car traffic will be routed by the normally remote AFN radio transmitter on the way to a newly created field parking lot. Workers also need time to set up and take down concert stages, lights and temporary buildings, and they are bringing in cranes to do it. The Hessentag festivities and concerts run June 10-19 in Oberursel, Germany.
"Our German neighbors asked us to temporarily turn off our 873 AM Power
Network transmitter in Central Germany for concerts with Linkin Park, Bryan
Adams, the Scorpions and scores of others," says AFN Europe Commander
Colonel Bill Bigelow, "During that time, we'll broadcast to our American
audience in Wiesbaden on 1143 AM from another location."
While 1143 AM's 1,000-watts of power will reach Americans stationed in
Wiesbaden, the temporary transmitter doesn't have the reach of AFN's
150,000-watt transmitter in Weiskirchen, which reaches American commuters in
Frankfurt, Darmstadt, Hanau and Giessen.
AFN Europe will put 873 AM back on the air July 1st.

Joe Ferguson 1983
Time for another visit with "The Joe Show", Joe Ferguson did a run of shows from KUPL in Portland. AFRTS sought out jocks with an AFRTS connection and put them back on the air. It's mid 1983, here's Joe!

Bob Kingsley 1973
For those of us "a certain age" Bob Kingsley WAS the American Country Countdown. That's why listening to his AFRTS rock show is so fascinating. It's a style that really bridges the gap. Take a listen:

Charlie Tuna 1973
This is the earliest Charlie Tuna that I have. It was sourced from the mastering reel with the slug still intact.
Charlie was at KKDJ during the week and was squared off against Charlie Van Dyke at his old KHJ home. Robert W. Morgan was at K-100. Talk about a radio battle! But we can treasure the Saturdays at the McCadden studios, making radio like this:

Jim Pewter
Finally it's almost SUMMERTIME, cue the Jaymies, Billy Stewart or Eddie Cochran. Jim Pewter knew these things. Every day an encylopedia of the music. I learned a lot.
Jim shared this 1969 picture with Al Jardine of the Beach Boys. Picture was taken at AFRTS and is copyrighted Playground Productions. Used with permission.
