Voice of America Bethany Relay Station
Voice of America Bethany Relay Station, Radio broadcasting facility in West Chester Township, United States.
The Voice of America Bethany Relay Station spans 624 acres of former farmland, featuring multiple shortwave transmitters for international broadcasting operations.
The U.S. government constructed this facility in 1943 to counter foreign propaganda during World War II, establishing powerful radio transmission capabilities.
The station transmitted news and information to Europe and South America, reaching audiences who risked penalties for listening to foreign broadcasts.
The National Voice of America Museum of Broadcasting contains the original control room and offers educational programs through its STEM laboratory.
The station's six 200,000-watt transmitters, built by Crosley Corporation, operated on multiple frequencies to prevent signal interference from other sources.
