    The National Voice of America Museum of Broadcasting[1], located at the former VOA Bethany, Ohio, Relay Station, will host a reception on Saturday, May 21, 6:30-9 PM, for Dayton Hamvention[2]? attendees.

    The museum will be open for tours, and the West Chester Amateur Radio Club station WC8VOA - located in the original VOA control room - will be available for operation. The museum displays a collection of R.L. Drake equipment as well as the Collins 821A 250 kW shortwave transmitter that was used at the site.

    Admission is $5. Refreshments will be offered. The museum is located south of Dayton off I-75. Exit at Tylersville Road, and turn left at the top of the ramp. The museum is about 1 mile east on the left (north) side of Tylersville Road. - Thanks to Jay Adrick, K8CJY, via QRZ.com
