[Amps] Standby tubes (was: Even more power solid-state amp's)

[Will Matney]

Everytime I ever remembered WLW it reminded me of the old TV commercial, "When EF Hutton talks, everybody listens"! I dont recon nothing has ever been built to top it as that amount of power was found to just be too much, hi hi. One thing though, the tower was close to the building and I wonder what type of RF radiation those folks were exposed to?

Best,

Will
