The Voice of America relay station at Kavala, Greece was one of the world's largest and most impressive international broadcasting facilities. It was a major US diplomacy player in the Cold War Era. When the VOA closed operation in 2006 and left the nearly 2000 acres site, the Greek government hoped to reuse the equipment and asked the U.S. Army not to destroy the base, as was protocol. The station was never reused and the transmission equipment has been dismantled, sold, recycled, or looted.
