Mr. Feliciano Paano was a well-known writer and had been a classmate of Carlos P. Romulo. He contracted leprosy and retired to the Culion Leper Colony in Palawan. He was a believer and a faithful listener to DZAS's Damdaming Bayan (Voice of the People) broadcast. PM's (Portable Missionary radio sets) were distributed in many needy places where people otherwise had no radio. The radio was delivered by the local workers for the American Leprosy Mission.

The very shy "Negritos" are recipients of PM radios in the 1950's. Dr. Doug Pennoyer of Biola University, in consultation with Dr. Tom Headland a foremost expert on Philippine tribal groups, have helped us identify the specific indigenous people in this photo as "Western Luzon Agtas possibly from Quezon or Cagayan Province as evidenced by the arrows which are distinct from the Zambales Ayta; the house building materials; and the particular clothing."

Church in Ban Phu Sang Noy Village, Laos. This church, which had no resident pastor, received most of its Christian encouragement from FEBC's short wave broadcasts. The village is Meo, or Hmong. FEBC's first broadcasts were produced in Lao, spoken by many villagers (mainly men). The Christian Missionary Alliance cooperated with FEBC in the production of its first Lao language broadcasts, and regularly visited this and other tribal villages as they first began to respond to the broadcasts. From one of these villages came FEBC's first Hmong language broadcaster, whose programs eventually stimulated a revival resulting in at least 250,000 conversions starting in the late 1980's. More detailed background on this photo is provided in the August, 1958 edition of the Broadcaster.

The Nanjing Tai Dong Seminary choir that provided FEBC with music for its broadcasts. The director David K. Shao (Shao Kuang) [See #408 and #151]] is in the rear (glasses). This photo appears in the April 1948 "Broadcaster" publication which includes a summary of CCBS activities in China. By the end of 1947 FEBC had 6 hours of broadcasts on XGOA, the government station, with local broadcasts in Shanghai and Nanking (Nanjing). We had just been granted time also on two SW frequencies. "XGOA" was the "Central Broadcasting Station." There was also an FEBC-sponsored broadcast on a "Ginling" station in Nanjing (XLAW), produced in cooperation with the Lutheran Mission, China Inland Mission (Today OMF), and InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. FEBC was called CCBS, Chinese Christian Broadcasting System. Recording equipment provided by CIM, but mainly used by FEBC. The chorus in the photo was associated with the Tai-Tung [Tai Dong]Theological Seminary. Back of photo has a partially obliterated description:
"CCBS Ch[orus?]....
XLA....
Center left......ow-kwan
All...are co[mmitted?]
Christians. " The "ow-kwan" is undoubtedly referring to David K. Shao (Shao-Kuang), the choir's director who appears, in fact, center left. (See also #408). "XLA-" is undoubtedly XLAW. The actual schedules were published in a 1948 calendar (#890).

QSL cards from XGOA and its companion XORA.. We obtained these on a DXer website. They are from 1947, the very time FEBC was broadcasting on "two SW freqs," and, locally in Shanghai and Nanking. By combining information in the January, 1948 "Broadcaster" brochure, along with information found in a calendar giveaway (#407, 890-1) we have been able to reconstruct most of the schedule (see image 890). According to the "Broadcaster" FEBC began on these SW frequencies on October 19, 1947.

Here is a high quality photo of a family posing around a PM in Taliba, Batangas, Philippines, 1950. The photo was taken by Byrd Brunemeier, who was an excellent photographer who went to great lengths to pose photos like this one. The photo was reproduced in the January 1957 Broadcaster where it explains that "six years ago, one of the first PMs was tested and placed in this home. [The] Lasala family and friends listen to the hymn 'Pass Me Not O Gentle Savior' as it comes over one of the first PMs from Manila." The original we scanned here is 4x5 inches in size. See #1539 for a color slide of the scene.

Mr. Isabelo Montejo was "Mr. PM." He took these PMs out to remote areas in an old van called the "Glory Wagon." He showed Christian movies using a generator and then left a PM in the village. This photo shows him presenting a PM to a village of Ilongots. Ilongots were "head hunters." The man on the left is Mr. Florentino Santos, a missionary with the New Tribes Mission, who is receiving the PM for the settlement, established to save Ilongot Christians from the military operations of the Philippine Constabulary seeking to put an end to the practice of headhunting. Search word: Ilongot.
