USA VOA Greenville - Fifty Years of Shortwave to the World.<br />

LBA_Antenna Turns, by Chris Horne.<br />

Tranquility Base, here. The Eagle has landed. The Voice of America had the<br />

world's largest audience ever when it reported in 46 languages man landing<br />

on the Moon. It earned trust when it reported on Watergate and the anti-<br />

Vietnam protests. In 1968, Czechs battled Soviet tanks in the streets.<br />

When Soviet troops forced a Czech dissident broadcaster to sign off, he<br />

told his audience to listen to the VOA. Czech broadcasting was never<br />

trusted again.<br />

The phrase Voice of America (VOA) has always stood for a strong, powerful<br />

American broadcasting entity. The United States government intended the<br />

Voice of America to provide hope to people around the world and to<br />

counteract the propaganda espoused by America's enemies in war conflicts.<br />

In the mid 1990s the federal government began closing or consolidating<br />

some large VOA broadcasting facilities. The federal government would like<br />

to close VOA site B in Greenville, NC. I hope they choose not to for some<br />

several reasons.<br />

Recently, I toured VOA Site B and observed first hand both the magnitude<br />

of the transmitting equipment and the value its broadcasting can add to<br />

the international community. The day I arrived at VOA-B, the hundreds of<br />

acres of tall expansive antennas made you feel you were entering another<br />

planet. The father of wireless, Guglielmo Marconi, would be proud to see<br />

such a place full of great engineering and information for the world. Many<br />

wire antennas meshed together to form a tall wide curtain were supported<br />

by tall 300 feet towers. Each tower is fed by elevated transmission line<br />

(1 inch conducting pipes) 15 feet off the ground. Once inside the<br />

transmitting facility, the same degree of largeness is apparent by several<br />

"truck size" transmitters...<br />
