CHRS Journal
The California Historical Radio Society (CHRS), is a non-profit educational corporation chartered in the State of California. CHRS was formed in 1974 to promote the restoration and preservation of early radio and broadcasting. Our goal is to enable the exchange of ideas and information on the history of radio, particularly in the West, with emphasis on collecting, preserving, and displaying early equipment, literature, and programs. Yearly membership is $30. CHRS Museum at Historic KRE CHRS is fortunate to occupy and restore the historic KRE radio station building located at 601 Ashby Avenue in Berkeley, CA. The KRE station an important landmark in S.F. Bay Area radio history. Orig- inally constructed in 1937, the KRE station was one of the first facilities built in California specifically for broadcasting. The KRE site has been transmitting AM radio signals for over 70 years and still operates today as KVTO. In 1972, it was the location for scenes featuring “Wolfman Jack” and Richard Dreyfuss in the George Lucas film, “American Graffiti.” The restoration of the station plus creation of a museum and educational center gives us an environment to share our knowledge and love of radio. It enables us to create an appreciation and understanding for a new generation of antique radio collectors and historians.

A Voice Across the Pacific: KWID & KWIX FDR Sought to Throw America’S Voice Westward by Dr
A Voice Across the Pacific: KWID & KWIX FDR Sought to Throw America’s Voice Westward by Dr. Adrian M. Peterson, 4.23.2008 It was August 1941, just a few months before the tragic events now known worldwide as Pearl Harbor. President Roosevelt called a meeting of prominent radio personnel at the White House to establish an international broadcasting network, which has since become the Voice of America. One of the well-known radio personnel present was Wesley Dumm, who had been successful in medium-wave broadcasting in California for the last decade or so. During the White House meetings, the president asked Dumm to build two shortwave stations in the San Francisco area for coverage into the Far East. FDR stated that both NBC and CBS had been invited to install shortwave stations in California, but both had declined due to huge financial losses at their shortwave stations already on the air with programming beamed to Latin America. Congress would not appropriate funding for this new international radio project, the president stated, so he would make payment out of discretionary funds available at the White House.
