Re: [IRCA] [former} VOA Dixon

Charles,

I would guess the power is still connected to run the tower lights.  All the antennnas are still up.  Last time I drove out there at night the area is full of reds lights atop the many towers.  The Navy still has it's large towers up next to the VOA site.  Pacific Gas & Electric,  I believe runs the power out in the Dixon area.  Check out the links at my web site for two articles on the Dixon VOA site.  Also the latest "Monitoring Times" has a 2 page article with pictures on the Dixon VOA site.
