| The KGEI transmitter was built by GE specifically for the Golden Gate Exposition in San Francisco in 1939. As a shortwave transmitter it was a novelty for its time. It was originally operated under the amateur/experimental call sign W6XBE, changed to KGEI during the Exposition (see photos #203 and #204). Carlos U. Benedetti is announcing in Spanish in the control room. FEBC did not acquire KGEI until 1959. Year: 1939 Country: USA Set: 19 Updated: 2006-06-01 13:13:39

| Bob Bowman poses with "First Mate Bob" (Paul Myers), the head of the "Good Ship Grace," which produces the Haven of Rest radio broadcast. The location is the front door of the famous building on Hyperion Blvd. in Hollywood (Los Angeles) [see #00881]. Bob sings baritone in the quartet known as the "Crew of the Good Ship Grace." It is here that Bob acquired his knowledge of radio, and understood the value that the medium has in reaching people with the gospel. Year: 1939 Country: USA Set: 18 Updated: 2007-03-06 15:29:42

| This remarkable photo, undoubtedly taken in the early to mid 1940's, was located by FEBC personnel in Shanghai, in November of 2006. It shows the door to the studio in which broadcasting was already being produced by local Christians, when John Broger made his contacts in that city in 1946. The call sign of the station being used (XMGC) appears over the doorway, and can also be seen in in photo #45. This photo was shown to FEBC by the son of Rev. Charles Chi (see #9), who was pastor of Grace Baptist Church at that time. The source of the photo appears in #1224. A broader view of this side of the building in 1946, is found in image #79.
