Dick Palmquist Operates
Radio Station In Oakland
Dick Palmquist, who was asso
ciated here with the Gospel Mis
sion, in the interest of building a
religious radio station, started op
ation of KEAR in Oakland, Calif,
in February. The station, which is
entirely religious, was financed
by Ray Goodwill of Alameda, who
invested several thousands of dol
lars in the venture, which will be
supported by contributions. The
name of the organization is Fam
ily Stations, Inc., and nothing but
hymns and gospel will be beamed.
Palmquist, who left here due
to a heart condition of his six
weeks-old son, reports that the
boy, is developing most satisfac
torily due to the medical aid re
ceived from heart specialists in
the Bay area.
The idea for a Nome religious
station was taken up by the Cove
nant Church, which plans to start
operating a radio station here next
fall, it is reported.
