At the center of the VOA’s Greenville 4,800,000 watt broadcast¬ ing complex is “Site C,” the receiving station whose courtyard is seen above. Incoming programs from Washington, D.C., pass through the Site C control console to transmitting Sites A and B. Incoming overseas teletype and voice feeds are sent to Washington.
Remotely operated rf switchgear, one of two identical units, channels nearly 3 megawatts of power to an antenna field which covers two miles and more in length ... and contains huge curtain antennas rising nearly 300 feet, and rhombics over a quarter of a mile long. Both rhombics and curtains, used interchangeably, are beamed at such distant cities as: Moscow, Prague, Cairo, Lagos, Rio de Janeiro, Santiago and Tegucigalpa.
