In the early 1980's, my older brother, Mark Petersen, started volunteering at a radio station in a log cabin with grass growing on it's roof near North Pole, Alaska. Known as King Jesus North Pole (KJNP), it broadcast religious messages to native people in Alaska's interior and even into the Soviet Union. Mark tells us what it was like working at a station where he butchered his own meat and sent  on-air messages to trappers and gold miners in Alaska's remote regions.
