Title: VOA Dixon, CA Post by: W3SLK on June 30, 2006, 05:42:24 PM A friend of mine tipped me off about this article. It looks as though it was well written and pretty informative. I think there needs to be a sequel though. Too many blank spaces/questions.

You can zoom right down to see the towers and the building. Not having as much luck with the Dixon site though.

Way Cool! I heard from the Veterans VOA people at Dayton (and someone who spoke with a VOA engineer) that the VOA is shutting down many (most??) of their HF transmitters this year. The history could go quickly. We (and I would LOVE TO) should try to get access and document what we can. I am always interested in old recordings. 73 Dan W1DAN |
