WLW 500KW AM Transmitter

I recently stumbled across this while reading something else on the web, as you do 🙂

Somehow, he finagled the Federal Radio Commission into an “experimental” authorization for 500 kW, first with the special callsign of W8XO, finally as commercial WLW.

It makes pretty interesting reading, 500KW on AM is not to be sneezed at!
