Bob, did you ever visit WLW in Cincinatti. I'm not remotely knowledgeable about technical stuff, but I was fascinated by a story I ready last year about WLW's experiment with 500,000 watts back in the 1930s IIRC. I recall something about them firing up the old transmitter for fun on December 31, 1999 or something like that. Anyways, did you ever see the behemoth and if you did what were your thoughts.
Also, did you ever meet or speak with Ed Buterbaugh (CKLW's head engineer)? He's sadly no longer with us, but I guess he was quite a genius for tweeking The Big 8's sound.
Off topic, I meant to mention earlier that the live phone call thing tonight was quite enjoyable. It really adds to the show.
Thanks for the requests too.
