I used to listen to AFRTS while I was in SE Asia. I even taped a large amount on my new reel to reel tape recorder but my sister taped over those when I gave the tape player to her(1968).

One thing I remember, on Okinawa, AFRTS was playing old programs of WWII on TV. When the BOMB was dropped on Hiroshima, the TV went blank for a minute till that segment was passed. They used to broadcast lots of TV shows on radio.
