Zoom Meeting on Wednesday, November 09, 2022 @ 7:30 PM ET
Meeting details
Following a busy day in May 2022 at Hamvention in Xenia Ohio, Harrie VE3HYS and Roger VA3EGY enjoyed a Voice of America Museum tour.
The Voice of America Bethany Relay Station was built in 1943. It had six high-power shortwave transmitters with 27 antennas and was able to blanket the world 24 hours a day with news and information throughout and after World War II.
Now to radio amateurs it’s known as WC8VOA. If only they could afford the power bill to call CQ with one of those transmitters!
Harrie and Roger were fortunate to receive a special extended tour of this facility from Jocelyn VA2VRX /KD8VRX and now they want to share this fascinating experience with you.
