Christian, as the island's radio operator, with call sign VP6TC/VR6TC, served as \"the voice of Pitcairn\" from the mid-1950s to his retirement in 2004. His radio hut was atop spyglass hill, which, at 870 feet (270 m) elevation, is the highest point on the island. He was awarded an MBE in 1983.According to his New York Times obituary Christian and his wife Betty Christian took a firm stand during the Pitcairn sexual assault trial of 2004 against the idea that Polynesian people had different standards about the sexual initiation of minors.Christian died of the after-effects of a stroke. He and Betty had four daughters, Darilene, Sherilene, Jacqueline, Raelene, and six grandchildren. According to the HAM radio association he had been diagnosed as suffering from Alzheimer's disease in 2009, and his health and awareness of his surroundings had steadily deteriorated since then. His daughters Jacqueline and Raelene are also HAM radio operators.".
