       Gloria (Johnson) is one of Portland's most well-known and best-loved DJs.  Below is just a taste of her memories of KQ4.

       "Spending a whole night by myself in the middle of an ice storm trying to do a show from a transmitter shack out in the boonies.  One turntable, a stack of albums and a hand-held mic.  No clock.  Had to trust someone would come and rescue me in the morning when my shift was over."

     Gloria is currently doing Sundays 10am-3pm (and fill) on KGON in Portland, Oregon.

          EMF President Dick Jenkins has served as president of the EMF board of directors since 1986. As EMF president, Jenkins directs the overall daily operations of both the K-LOVE and Air 1 Radio networks in addition to Christian Music Planet, a national magazine and music streaming Web site.

          Over the last 17 years, Jenkins has seen K-LOVE grow from just one radio station in Santa Rosa, Calif. to a network of stations that spans 35 states.

          In 1999, Jenkins directed the merger of the Air 1 Radio Network with EMF Broadcasting. At the time, the Air 1 network was comprised of eight signals in two states. Today, Air 1 is broadcast in 16 states.

          Jenkins has a rich background in radio broadcasting that spans 30 years. Prior to taking the helm at EMF, Jenkins held positions as program director, music director and radio announcer at several stations in Washington, Oregon and Georgia.

          In addition to his experience in radio operations, Jenkins has a solid background in management. Previous to joining EMF, he served as executive director of the Northern California Marine Association and director of sales and operations for the International Gourmet Food and Wine Show in San Francisco.

          For 10 years, Jenkins honed his analytical, negotiating and management skills as a lobbyist and member services director for the pleasure boating industry.

          In addition to serving as president of EMF and on its board of directors, Jenkins is a founding member of the Christian Music Broadcasters Association, currently serving as its vice chairman. He is also on the board of directors of National Religious Broadcasters.

          He still likes the 70s sounds:  Tractor, Neu, Funkadelic, Strawbs, any CTI jazz, Pink Floyd, Canned Heat (especially the album with Little Richard and the one where they backed-up The Ventures), Uriah Heep, early Queen, Thijs van Leer, Harvey Mandel, Jan Akkerman, Jukka Tolonen, Golden Earring and anything composed by Georg Friedrich Handel.  These sounds get thundered around the neighborhood with a Thorens TD 165 turntable with Empire cartridge into a Kenwood KR- 9400 receiver through a Kenwood GE-56 graphic equalizer and out a pair of too-large Pioneer speakers (the model number tag fell off).
