That is going to be some good reading. Do you care to do "The Nations Station" ie, "The Big One"?:-) 700 WLW Baby, even Hitler hated us "Cincinnatian's" because of WLW. If you don't, I will find some info, I used to have a folder on WLW's history and it's now in one of my many drawers - Ha! |

My grandparents farm was a stones throw away, and on occasion Grandpa would mow the area around the towers. Steve, that is pretty close to my story with WLW, though I never actually "physically" sat in the studio. My grandparents/greatparents built the first house in a area called Pisgah, which is right down the road from - - at the time - WLW's studio and their bad ass looking antenna emblazoned with the "WLW" letters (still there and used) on it. Of course with the VOA Bethany Shortwave Station right by it - it was unbelievable to see as a kid - I had no idea what shortwave radio was when I was five/six yrs. old. At night time it was nothing but lights and wires as far as you could see and the power from the VOA overrode my dad's old car radio when he pulled over to the side of the road - that's when it was explained to me by my Dad what the VOA was about. That is pretty cool childhood memories you have of there, I wish I could have sat in their studio as a kid. |

You guys are lucky - all I had was a measly two-bit 1,000 watt station/xmtr in Gardner, Massachusetts - WGAW - to hang around at. We used to visit with Bob Maddox while he did his evening pop program at the station for the 10-or-so mile radius WGAW could normally reach. It might have been more at night, but it was required to drop to 250 watts. Bruce |
