[BC] Pearl Harbor radio request

[Chuck Lakaytis]

The recently deceased Alaska Broadcast Pioneer founded KFAR in 
Fairbanks in 1939, I think.  I do know that before signon on December 
7th 1941 he was listening to KGMB in Honolulu and heard the 
announcement of the attack.  Actually he first heard the announcement 
for all military personal to return to duty immediately and then news 
of the attack.  He immediately signed on KFAR and announced the 
attack to Fairbanks and the interior of Alaska.
