The dedicated AM band DX'ers used to stay up almost all night to catch such things. At times the band really opened up Particualrly after most of the local stations went off the air. Of course th "Good Old Days" when one could hear WLW in the Midle of the night all over the north Amercian Continent is gone. there were also so called Clear Channels that would come in but i nthe 30's WLW beat them all having the highest Output power ever allowed for an AM station, 500,000 Watts. The rest of the stations were limited to 50,000 Maximum. With most being 5,000 or even less in some situations. --- þ SLMR 2.1a þ This note from El Cajon California USA * Origin: Try Our Web Based QWK: DOCSPLACE.ORG (1:123/140) .
