   RW> TW> I also rembember the Day of WLW in Ohio. AM 700 with a 500 KW signal   
      
   RW>I read somewhere on the 'XERB Wolfman Jack" page that stations xmitting at   
   RW>night using their daytime pwr limit of 65kw was illegal. It was an FCC   
   RW>requirment to reduce pwr to 50kw at night.   
      
   The WLW Crosley Broadcasting station WLW had a special FCC permit to run   
   500 KW in hte 30's   
      
   "At 50 kilowatts, WLW was heard easily over a wide area, from New York   
   to Florida. But Crosley still wasn't satisfied. In 1933 he obtained a   
   construction permit from the Federal Radio Commission for a 500 kilowatt   
   superstation, and he spent some $500,000 ($9.11 million in 2014[3])   
   building the transmitter and antenna."
