My father listened to the Voice of America in Romanian during Ceausescu's time. A Romanian gentleman, Mircea Carp, I believe, was speaking, who ended with the phrase...."let's hear only the good". I was listening to a Sanyo radio cassette player. R.I.P. father, C.Viorel
Trank you very much. You make me cry. As a child in the seventies I used to listen The Voice of America every night secretly in my room in the communist Czechoslovakia and it was illegal.
Was there any way for them to know if you were listening to that station????
@@halo3gamefuel No, but I was loosing the signal permanently and had to tune it again and again, because there was a station beside my town sending interferences all the time.
Well, as America is quickly becoming a Communist state, I wonder what voices of freedom and liberty might tune into as we huddle in the darkness awaiting ANTIFA and the Squad to knock down our doors.
You are absolutely right. In Romania it used to be the same. Voice of America along with the Radio Free Europe represented the only source of reliable info for the ones locked behind the Iron Curtain in those tyrant regimes of the Evil Empire. Those voices were causing the "comrades" in power to start shivering.
90s too
The former VOA site, Bethany Station north of Cincinnati, is now a broadcast museum featuring VOA exhibits and exhibits about Cincinnati's rich broadcast history. Although the VOA Bethany antenna field is demolished, the iconic WLW tower is still in use not far to the east. The WLW property is being converted into a strip mall, but the transmitter and tower will remain in place; it's now possible to get a close-up view of the transmitter building and tower.
Wow thank you for this, brings back so much memories of my childhood with my mum in the 90s. I and her listened to VOA from a small village in southern Nigeria 🇳🇬 every night, it was our thing and I know she’d be so excited to learn that everything soon went digital and I found the sign on/off on YT… rest on Mum. 💕
I could write the exact same for my dad. Growing up late 90s in a small town in Cross River state, Nigeria. ❤ Love and light, namesake.
Mi viejo lo escuchaba con la Noblex 7 mares en los 70, suena igualito que nostalgias se me pianta una lágrima.
Con la 7 Mares (también tuve una) la escuchábamos un poco más "cascoteada" por las emisoras de los costados ¿no? La VoA transmitía para América Latina con 500 kilovatios de potencia, cinco veces más que LRA Radio Nacional y LR1 El Mundo, las más potentes de Argentina.
Even though I was born in the 21st century in the Western world, this piece stands for freedom in my ears. Huge respect to all the listeners of VoA wherever they were/are listening from.
this piece stands for propaganda
This is sooo cool! I actually grew up in the area where it was broadcasted from in Southwest Ohio.
Me, too but east side of town. Just visited the museum today.
EXCELLENT
I used to hear Voice of America in 1970s breakfast shows. Wonderful experience
Lindos recuerdos de mi niñez, mi padre escuchaba siempre las noticias del mundo en esa emisora.
Till I love this music❤,🇧🇩
Recuerdos de mi infancia..
Saludos desde México.
I'm listened VOA in 70s from the north of the arctic circle 69n33o - we are named it the enemy voices or voices \ so long time lookin for this jingle so lucky hearin' it again - God Bless America !
Actually, the voice in the open is that of Tony Riggs, a VOA announcer and newscaster.
Thanks Neal!
I see Tony at VOA Alumni events every now and then. He looks--and sounds--great. @@robertosolans4710

Great to hear the old music and sign on once more! Does anyone have any Willis Conover shows about Jazz?

It was a pleasure.

Used to listen to VOA back in the day on shortwave. Honestly, the sign on/sign off was the best part. Made my heart swell with pride. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting. I think I'll listen to it another 750 times...
@ysoitney You're welcome.
George Washington and his companions are crossing the Delaware... and listening the featured tune of the VOA again and again.
So did I ! This is great stuff to remember it all by ! Special English too !
When I was a child in China, I listened to the Voice of America through the shortwave radio channel. Now, more than 30 years later, China has still not been liberated, and I have also settled in the United States and Europe.😂
Wow! Such intense memories... I am 15, late at night in Bulgaria, ear pressed to the old radio, listening to the sounds of freedom coming over the iron curtain... I am a proud American now, but in a way I was an American back then too.
This is the best radio interval signal in the world mahayalage Dixon Fernando Colombo Sri Lanka
I had the honor being a radio operator with VoA Munich Relay Station for almost ten years! You can imagine how often I heard this sign on! :-)
That was next to the English Gardens if my memory serves me correct. I was at McGraw Kaserne at the time. Those were the days.
@@Elzweiler Think you might thinking of the Radio Liberty/Radio Free Europe studios and offices. The VOA MF and HF transmitter sites were at Ismaning, to the north of Munich and at at one time there was an LF site Errching.
This and RFE were the bomb. Listened to them as a kid in the early 80s/ late 70s behind the Curtain. Thanks for your service.
Just a question, back to that time how does signal received at relay station, is that done through satellite?
The signal was received sometimes via satellite and sometimes via on air signal, both supplied by Ueberacker Receiver Plant via cable to Ismaning Transmitter Plant to avoid interferrence.
It seems like an eternity has passed since I was listening to Voice of America Radio about 40 years ago, for us it was a spark of hope that we would finally escape Ceausescu's tyrannical regime, which seemed like it would never end. Very exciting to listen to this song again!
I am Iraqi, I was listening to this with my late father in eighties and during that time it was illegal to listen to these radios, this brings me memories…
Voice of America was never intended to be received here in the United States, but there was a transmitter ninety miles from where I live in North Carolina, so I was able to pick the station up at certain times of the day.
Yes, there were several BIG transmitters (500 Kw) located in Greenville, NC. Some of the Greenville's antennas were aimed at us, en South America.
there were two within 150 miles from me in California...one in Delano (south of Fresno) and one in Dixon (not far from Stockton).
@@56firedome ...and don't forget Bethany, Ohio
I worked at VOA for 35 years (1980-2014) and knew all of the English announcers. Tony's voice was one of the best.
I wish there would be a collection of the historic VOA voices somewhere. Hank Monroe and Kay Gallant continue to be heard in Special English, with series taped in the 1970s. But many others. Mell Guinn was the daily newscaster for the Evening flow introduced when John Chancellor tried to modernize the building in 1965. I heard Quinn actually died at the microphone in the 80s - When Newseum opened in Chrystal City (?) Alan Heil mentioned plans to show VOA there, but no idea whether that materialized, and is the Newseum still in operation.
@@49TravellerThere are several VOA voices archived in taped programs at the National Archives. Mostly from the 1950s with a sprinkling of later ones. The Newseum shut down in 2019, as it had taken on too much debt and the recession finished it off. There were several VOA events held at the Newseum from time to time.
Can you identify the voice in the video?
I used to listen to the VOA while stationed overseas for three year terms during the seventies. I would listen to Willis Conover and Jazz, but was Wilhelmina Jure(?) the newscaster? I remember listening to her every night on my short wave.
Back in those days, Philomena Jurey was VOA's White House Correspondent and her reports would have been carried most nights. After her White House days, she became VOA News Director. She retired in 1989 and passed away in 2019. She was one of VOA's greats. @@fohponomalama5065
Memories of growing up in the late 90s Nigeria and my father's (God rest his soul) shortwave radio. Took the internet 2 decades later to learn that I was listening to a rendition of the Yankee Doodle. This sound is iconic forever. America remains a cultural icon till the end of time.
My Dad used to listen it loud in Poland in the eighties. It was fun. Thank you VoA.
كنت أسمعها من إذاعة صوت أمريكا الناطقة باللغة العربية في ١٩٩٠
Wow fainally found it thats some memory back in time in nigeria when i was a child this was the our alarm Every morning for years as my parents will tune in VOA Hausa program 6:00AM. listening to this brings back some old memories.
It's Nostalgic For Me 😎 I Heard This Interval Signal In 1977～1979 By Shortwave Radio 😁 Thanks To Upload 😀 Thank You So Much 🙇
I am currently working for VOA/Marti Greenville “B” transmitter plant. Most programming now goes to Cuba from Greenville. There are still a few shows that broadcast to L at in America and Africa. Hear this VOA “Yankee Doodle “ intro and outro. Also worked in the VOA DC plant studios all together more than 30 hrs of working. Still wish to work at the transmitter plant. Something about short wave broadcasting-when I turn on a transmitter wonder how many folks are listening. Also I have to repair transmitters that break. Equipment here is vintage. The site was built and commined in 1962. Have worked all three Greenville transmitter plants-one was for receive-other two were transmitter sites. Only one left in current operation-the receive “ C “ plant is owned by the local ECU university. A plant is now abandoned. Worked there for about a year.
Hello Rex! Thanks for your comment. I really enjoyed it because I was one of those guys on the other side of the counter, imagining those powerful VoA transmitters and their enormous antennas in Greenville, in Bethany, in Delino, that brought me closer those friendly voices from the Latin American Service . You couldn't imagine how grateful we were to all of you in the VoA. I started as listener in 1964 following the Gemini space missions via VoA, and in 1988, when I was able to visit the studios in Washington, DC, I met and hugged a news reporter who 24 years earlier had read a letter I sent to the Listeners Club. Incredible! It was very, very exciting. Years later I watched on UA-cam how those huge antennas that were already out of service were demolished. It caused me enormous sadness to see those giants die (Google translation).
@@robertosolans4710 That affecting me as well I worked at that site for a year(A Plant). Now with the antennas gone the state has done NOTHING with the building. The transmitters there were used as “hanger Queens” to provide parts for remaking transmitters at the still working B site. The former A site is now abandoned.
@Rex Oliver Sad, very sad Rex. 😪
vOA would identify their transmitters along with the Yankee Doodle signature. Remember special English broadcasts?? vOA was hot stuff on the east coast. They could burn a hole in my Hallicrafters short wave radio.
Voice of America was broadcasting on the wave. Long AM at the end of the 1990s and covers the central and southern provinces in Iraq 🇮🇶 Is it possible to rebroadcast in the coming weeks? Greetings to the management of the Voice of America department
The whole family used to listen in communists Czechoslovakia.
Waw...amazing mamory im really appreciated this sound...
This brought back fond memories of starry nights tuning in stations from across the globe through the short waves!
Greetings from Romania. I was a child when my parents listened to the Voice of America. They lived with the hope that "the Americans are coming" to rid us of the Russians.
God bless America.
Same here in Lithuania.
In the near future, you will really feel this very "help" of America. Let's see how you start tearing your hair out on your head
When I was a child, I listened to the Voice of America. This is illegal in China.
Hi，小赤佬
Awww they just knocked the voice of American radio towers down in Delano ca today
From 1950, Voice of America is also broadcast in Okinawa (Ryukyu Islands)
It Reminds of my college days as I used to regularly listen to this channel as well as of BBC Radio.
I remember Bán Tamás and Varsa István. I am from Hungary. Greetings to all VOA listeners!
Why, it feels to me like I am sitting in my room listening to a radio and a war happening behind the window?
Memories maybe?
Uauuu...ce vremuri !!! Acum 40 și mulți ani în urmă , stăteam seara culcat pe umărul tatei și ascultam cu-nfrigurare cât înțelegeam atunci , Radio Europa Liberă și Vocea Amrricii...

wonderful....thanks...gracias

There used to be a VOA transmitter in Bethany, Ohio. (You could see the curtain antennas from I-80.) I believe that facility is now a museum.
Yes, It is the Nat'l VOA Museum of Broadcasting: www.voamuseum.org/?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1
That's I-75.
Yes, visited today and thought there might be something on UA-cam. Thank you!

Thank you VOA! You helped me a lot in communist Hungary, some 40- 50 years ago.
Esta era mi emisora favorita a finales de los 80. Soy de Guatemala. Me recuerdo a los locutores como Zulima Palacios, Isidro Olace, etc
I can still sometimes get Voice of America on Medium Wave here in Malaysia. The signal is not stable and only appears at night, sometimes cutting into Thai/Cambodian/Vietnamese signal (I can’t really tell, they all sound almost alike). But the signal is always gone by daylight.
Takes me back to late 80s.
I like English, french, Germán, italian portuguese and spanish.

یادش بخیر😢
Prezado Roberto Solans, muito te agradeço por nos brindar com essa joia rara, uma verdadeira máquina do tempo que me leva de volta aos meus 09 anos de idade vivendo nas entranhas da selva amazonica. Da janela dos meus 62 anos, ao ouvir este seu brilhante trabalho, sinto minha alma suspirando, uma chuva torrencial desaba no telhado de meu espirito que vasa pelos olhos. Um mix de sensações que hora é melancólica e outra desesperadora por deparar com a passagem do tempo que me leva em uma velocidade aterrorizante de 60 minutos por hora em direção a morte. Porém, ao embarcar em sua máquina do tempo, tenho a imensurável satisfação de reviver inúmeros momentos em seus minimos detalhes. Muito, mas muito obrigado mesmo por isso.
O brigado, meu amigo.
gracias, se siente nostalgia de la musica de entrada y de salida, de las voces de los locutores, de los programas de noticas, del "impacto musical de hoy", del ambiente de aquella epoca, he recordado a traves de todos estos años esta emisora que ponian los haitianos y los jamaiquinos vecinos en la isla de Cuba cuando era niño en los 60, no todo el mundo tenia radio, yo los escuchaba diario del vecino inmediato.
¿Podían escucharla libremente en Cuba? Por las noches tarde estaba "Cita con Cuba" en aquella época.
Saludos hermanos y colegas mi emisora preferida esa radio mi inspiro en la locucion y periodismo en nicaragua.Recuerdo a Hector velazquez mejia con capsulas cientificas que se transmitia en radio universidas a Leonardo Bonet y Rolando Masaferreira mis idolos y otros.Muchas bendiciones desde Panama.Y exitos.
En 1988 tuve la fortuna de visitar la sede de la VOA en Washington, D.C., y en particular el Servicio Latinoamericano y su estudio 25. Para mi sorpresa fui recibido por el querido Roland Massa Ferreyra, que 25 años antes había leído una carta mía en el Club de Oyentes. Con enorme cordialidad me invitó a recorrer las instalaciones y nos despedimos con un apretado abrazo que todavía recuerdo. Roland falleció entrado ya este siglo.
Esta melodia me recuerda mi niñes.. cuando escuchabamos la Voa en una radio de baterias y en A M !!!
懐かしい、中学時代だ！

Por favor vaya a Dr. Berkeley Price, busque Yankee doodle que ahi aparecera la version orquesta que se acerca a la version que escuchaba en la frecuencia de 12,025Mhz., en el año 1996 y en la emision criole dirigido a Haiti, gracias.
Estimado Gerardo: encontré esta variación sobre el Yankee Doodle por el Dr. Berkeley Price: ua-cam.com/video/dlFYO1fePBA/v-deo.html
No me resulta para nada familiar. Tome en cuenta que yo escuchaba las transmisiones de la VoA para América Latina entre 1964 y 1992.
@@robertosolans4710 Entiendo su punto, pero esa variacion del yankee doodle, la escuche en el año 1996, si tiene algun contacto en la VOA que le suministren el audio original y lo masteriza en HiFi. Gracias.
@@gerardomarce27a Lamentablemente no tengo contactos en la VoA. Tuve el gusto de visitar los estudios en 1988 y conocer a uno de los periodistas-conductores del Servicio Latinoamericano en los viejos tiempos, que me guió en un recorrido por las instalaciones. Pero he sido un simple oyente.
Damn.....I'm old.

I remember that when I was a teenager I listened directly to some international radio stations that broadcast in Portuguese to Brazil (I live in Cascavel/Paraná/Brazil) and among them my favorite was Voz da América, listening to this video now I got a fantastic DEJAVU!
Oh my God.am controlling my emotion,back days as a growing boy in the 70s,my late father with his transistor radio,I listen to all VOA news channels.Oh how time flies.
