Another interesting Visit place for Radio types is the Voice of America station outside of Dayton (Visit before/after Hamvention) This has been turned into a museum.. They too had no boiler/furnace. they used transmitter heat to keep warm.. had to install a heating system when they decomissioned... Much of the original installation is still there.. Antennas are gone however (how nice it woudl be to hook our transmitters into their arrays).

Ham Nation or Amateurlogic.TV or both have done tours of this facility with cameras rolling.
