Extract

The new radio station of the International Committee of the Red Cross is installed in a small building in the countryside at Versoix, some 10 kilometers from Geneva, in a field from which rise four lofty antennas.

The station was inaugurated on 4 December 1974 with a direct conversation between Mr. Eric Martin, President of the ICRC, and Mr. Walter Bargatzky, President of the German Red Cross in the Federal Republic of Germany, who was inaugurating his Society's radio station at the same time.
