Greetings TOM!   
      
      
    RW> TW>> I also rembember the Day of WLW in Ohio. AM 700 with a 500 KW   
    RW> TW>> signal   
      
    RW>> I read somewhere on the 'XERB Wolfman Jack" page that stations   
    RW>> xmitting at night using their daytime pwr limit of 65kw was illegal.   
    RW>> It was an FCC requirment to reduce pwr to 50kw at night.   
      
    TW> The WLW Crosley Broadcasting station WLW had a special FCC permit to   
    TW> run 500 KW in hte 30's   
      
   That was then, this is now. WLM has been off the air for a loooong time   
   now.   
      
    TW> "At 50 kilowatts, WLW was heard easily over a wide area, from New   
    TW> York to Florida. But Crosley still wasn't satisfied. In 1933 he   
    TW> obtained a construction permit from the Federal Radio Commission for   
    TW> a 500 kilowatt superstation, and he spent some $500,000 ($9.11   
    TW> million in 2014[3]) building the transmitter and antenna."   
      
    TW> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WLW   
      
    TW> you have to read down a bit to find the Ouote   
      
   I'm down here a bit and don't see any quote... 8^) But no need to scroll   
   down, as one can do a page search and find mention of 'Crosley', etc..   
      
      
       Have a day!
