Actually...
Most AM broadcasters utilize asymmetrical modulation where they often
allow %115 positive peaks

In case you missed it, the 500 KW was in the 1930s. 250 KW of audio was not
easy to come by. Last I heard WLW was using a Harris 50 KW digital AM
transmitter. See http://download.harris.com/app/publi...d.asp?fid=1489
.. Digital here means that the AM signal is digitally synthesized at high
level. There is no modulator.
