Portugal became the centre of an entangled airwaves ensemble during the Cold War. In order to demonstrate this, the article develops along two lines. First, it details how the Portuguese dictatorship, with ideological connections to fascism, allowed the construction in its territory of one of the most powerful retransmitters of Radio Free Europe (RFE), responsible for airing anti-communist propaganda to Eastern Europe. The collaboration between the Portuguese dictator and the National Committee for Free Europe, mediated by US diplomatic officials, played an important role in the development of the operations of RFE in the country. Second, the article demonstrates how Portugal became the target of shortwave broadcasts operated from abroad, aimed at spreading pro-communist and anti-fascist sentiments in Portuguese society. Some of these stations were established by the political opposition that used the airwaves to undermine the dictatorship.

冷战期间的东西方纠缠：往返葡萄牙的短波广播和宣传

冷战期间，葡萄牙成为纠缠不清的电波群的中心。为了证明这一点，本文沿着两条路线展开。首先，它详细说明了与法西斯主义有意识形态联系的葡萄牙独裁政权如何允许在其领土上建造最强大的自由欧洲电台 (RFE) 转发器之一，负责向东欧播放反共宣传。葡萄牙独裁者与自由欧洲国家委员会之间的合作，在美国外交官员的调解下，对 RFE 在该国的业务发展发挥了重要作用。其次，文章展示了葡萄牙如何成为海外短波广播的目标，旨在在葡萄牙社会传播亲共和反法西斯情绪。
