Notes

The black and white prints of RFE/RL were donated to OSA by the Hoover Institute, California in year 2015. The images are duplicates of those held at Hoover. The originals, and most probably the negatives are with the donor as well. OSA only received the paper prints with captions, and digitized the entire collection in year 2018.

ORIGINAL CAPTION:
Radio transmission - The 400-foot towers are part of RFE's directional antenna system at Gloria, outside Lisbon, Portugal. The national programs originating in the Munich studios are relayed to Gloria, where a battery of transmitters feed the signals into the antenna "curtain" for shortwave broadcast to East Europe.
