NRTF Lualualei High Frequency Transmitter Building

USA / Hawaii / Maili /
 Second World War 1939-1945, radio station, NRHP - National Register of Historic Places, historic landmark
This is the original transmitter building, built in 1935, and originally surrounded by a triatic wire antenna array, such as that once found at NRTF Chollas Heights near San Diego, CA. The historical significance of the towers is due to their role both during and after World War II. Initially, these antenna towers were used to maintain communication for naval shore installations and fleet units in the Eastern Pacific area. Following the war, during the mid 1940's through the late 1960's, the towers were designated as the "Voice of America" towers used to broadcast American news internationally.
