SWLing Post<\/em> reader, Christopher Brennen, writes:<\/p>\n

I’m wondering if you or the wider community can help? <\/em><\/p>\n

I remember a few years ago (at least 16 or 17) receiving a book about a SW religious station. I’m not sure, but the title “Towers of Power” or similar comes to mind. <\/em><\/p>\n

I thought it was from or about Family Radio, so I contacted them to inquire. They kindly replied and noted that they knew of no such book. <\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve looked everywhere for another copy, but without knowing the exact title, the author or which broadcaster it concerned, I have no idea where to look. I am certain I am not imagining it! Could you or anyone help me to track this book down?<\/em><\/p>\n

Regards,<\/em>

Thanks for your message, Christopher. \u00a0Unfortunately, I’m not familiar with a book that matches your description.<\/p>\n
