Radio Cracker : ウィキペディア英語版 | Radio Cracker Radio Cracker is the name of a series of short term RSL charity radio stations broadcasting in the UK and around the world in order to raise awareness of issues in the developing world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=AM/FM Newsletter 3: Summer 1993 - AM/FM )〕 ==Background==
In 1989, an organisation known as ''Christmas Cracker'' was set up by Richard Wood 〔http://www.rowextreme.com/〕 on behalf of Tearfund and the Oasis Trust to inform and educate people about the poverty and suffering that were the everyday experience of thousands of those living in Third World countries. It challenged and encouraged members of various Christian bodies to show their concern in a practical manner by organising and working together with people from all faiths and none to raise money for humanitarian projects in the developing world. One of their most innovative fundraising ideas was that of 'Radio Cracker', a chain of radio stations that under a radio authority licence could broadcast for a maximum of 28 days during the period leading up to Christmas.〔http://www.radiocracker.org.uk/projects.php〕 In 1991, there were 90 individual Radio Cracker RSL's which between them raised around £500,000 for third world aid, while in 1992, there were 83 〔http://www.ofcom.org.uk/static/archive/rau/publications-archive/adobe-pdf/rslar00.pdf〕 stations, all broadcasting to their own communities across the UK, often from shopping centres. The numbers fell in later years as the organisation had moved on, the final two being Radio Cracker Ballymena which still broadcasts every December to the Mid Antrim area of Northern Ireland and Rugby Cracker.
