Ahhh, I thought WLW made the brag they always had the biggest. The amp was made
by Westinghouse for RCA if I recall. I think RCA had the patents but contracted
the actual building to Westinghouse. I didn't think Continental ever made one
that large. I'll say this 500 KW is a bunch of power! One thing for others
reading, the 500 KW PA took a 50 KW driver.......
Best,
Will

Back in the late 40's, there was an XERF with the transmitter in Acuna Mexico
and the studios in Del Rio, Texas, because of the high power license
rules...They ran a Continental
rig at 500 kw and I think they ran even more power at times....all on diesel
generators !
Played all hill billy music,and when I was in the Navy we could pick them up on
the East
coast and even in Pearl Harbor....Another strong one was WJJD in Chicago.....
