Default The Strange True Story of a Radio Station's Transmitter in New York State

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.

Hello, and I grew up in Cincinnati where Crosley might well be regarded as
Cincinnati's equivalent to Pittsburgh's G. Westinghouse. Don't know if
Cincy had a Tesla, though ;-) The operations of WLW over the years are
well documented in technical journals and newspapers so I would ask of the
OP what is his information source(s). Sibncerely,
