    thats a really good read OG. Crosley got a lot done. i didn't realize how much he really did. but the beast 500,000 watts of AM is awesome. i remember stories of people hearing radio in their dental work. and with that much AM power, that would make sense.

    That?s impressive. The size of all the gear involved, and the area the station could cover.

    Incredible video! Thank you for sharing.. What an awesome time that must've been for radio enthusiasts -- with all the experimenting, and a whole lot less regulation
