[Amps] 500kw trnsmitter?

[Will Matney]

Back then, the two major producers of those large amps was RCA (who held a lot of the patents) and Westinghouse. Actually, I think Westinghouse built the one for WLW in Cincinatti but RCA put their tag on it. I think Western Electric was in on making some too.

Best,

Will
