Quoting from the original post in this thread:

"People in New York didn't even need radios. They could sometimes hear
voices in
their furnaces
and coming off chain-link fences. Light bulbs lit up in people's houses
even if
they were switched off. "

These are the phenomena reported from WLW's 500 kw operation in the
1930's.

In the late 1950's White's Radio Log reported XEX (Mexico City) had a
megawatt of power for a while -- several years, perhaps. Later reports gave
their power as 500 KW. I never heard them in NY because there was always
somebody else blocking them. Presently they're on 730 and listed at a
featherweight 100 KW.
