Do really believe that there was a transmitter in the 1920's that could
deliver
500 kw?. The first station that could come up with that amount of power
was in
the 1930's,W8XO, the experimental station of Powell Crosley, that became
WLW
again when the experimental period was over. Are you aware of the
technical
difficulties that obtained in just getting that monster to work? General
Electric and Westinghouse supplied most of the parts, the rest by RCA, and
RCA
was the company that strived and strived before it was workable at that
power
level. I once worked for Harold Vance, the RCA engineer in charge of the
project. Certainly this didn't happen in the 1920's, and not in
Schenectady.
