Preserving the VOA Bethany shortwave site. West Chester, Ohio.
The township is working to convert the 1940s Voice of America broadcast
building into a public museum. It was at this station that messages were
sent in more than 50 languages, waging war on Nazi Germany's radio
propaganda.

Cincinnati Enquirer, March 28, 2008
Thanks to Kim Andrew Elliott. Kim adds that not all of VOA's 50+
languages were transmitted via Bethany. In its latter years it was used
for transmissions to Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America.

WBCQ on new 15420! April 2 at 1420, Brother Scare intonations could be
heard underneath DW Russian via Rampisham, with a SAH of maybe 10 Hz. Just
as I feared, 15420 is hardly a clear frequency for WBCQ, unlike ex-17495.
You might think DW at 62 degrees from Rampisham to Russia would not be a
problem back in CNAm, but you would be wrong. DW puts plenty of signal
over here off the back, like many UK transmissions. WBCQ was gaining a
little as time went on, but totally useless with all the QRM. Recheck at
1506, when DW has supposedly switched to UAE site at 345 degrees for
another Russian hour, that one also aiming toward us, still a big
collision.
DW is also scheduled on 15420 at 17-19 in Arabic, 325 degrees from Rwanda,
and 19-21 in Arabic at 310 degrees. BBCWS is also listed for 15420 via
Seychelles at 13-17 to Africa, but may not be active, at least not heard
here with the other two stations going.
Collision remained until DW closed at 1559:30. Then BS self-QRMed, as Alex
Scourby was trying to convey a Bible verse mixed with entirely too loud
Overcomer theme music. But now no interference audible, in one-hour break
16-17 before DW resumes in Arabic at 1700.
Seems to me WBCQ should have got the vacated KTBN frequency 15590 instead,
and inactive WRNO could keep the traditional 15420, which they could then
worry about if they ever get on the air.
