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

| 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. Year: 1958 Country: LAO Set: 4 Updated: 2008-08-30 15:57:14

| 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). Year: 1947 Country: CHN Set: 12 Updated: 2006-12-13 20:09:07

| 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. Year: 1947 Country: CHN Set: 12 Updated: 2008-06-19 13:31:53

The photo was taken by Byrd Brunemeier, who was an excellent photographer who went to great lengths to pose photos like this one.

[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.
