Abstract :
The Voice of America broadcasts in 38 languages as a means of bringing the truth to millions in the captive nations. A vast voice boardcasting complex, now taking shape on the coastal plain of North Carolina, will use 150 miles of wire weighing 378 tons. The mountain of wire, wire rope, and strand, produced by U. S. Steel Corp., will be used to stabilize 400 antenna towers against the onslaught of the elements and support antenna networks between towers. The new Voice of America station will be the world´s most powerful broadcasting facility. Communist jamming specialists will find it difficult to drown out the 5-million-watt voice. A 6,000-acre site has been developed for the new station. There will be three groups of equipment arranged in a triangular pattern. Two will house transmitting equipment, the other will be a receiving station.
