“As you might know I was the Station Manager of the VOA Greece Transmitting Station when it closed down in 2006. I\u2019ve been contacted by one of the Greek employees. They are planning a reunion of former employees in April and would like to put together an audio montage of station sounds. They have some material, but would like to find a recording of the Greece Station ID (and possibly the one from Rhodes too). This was a male announcer stating that \u201cThis transmission came to you from Greece\u201d or words to that effect.<\/p>\n

Would you have such a thing, or know who might? I know the crew would greatly appreciate anything you might have along these lines.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t believe we have a recording of this in the SW Radio Audio Archive<\/a>, nor in my local archives.<\/p>\n

Does anyone out there have a recording of the VOA Greece Station ID? Please comment below or contact me<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
