Topband: and KDKA

[Tom W8JI]

WLW shared the frequency with other stations, I believe one in Canada. I'm 
pretty sure that is why they had to use a directional pattern at night. 
Throughout a long history, WLW shared (and time shared) channels.

The tower is a diamond shaped half wave, which makes it electrically shorter 
than a half wave.

>> Another interesting point -- WLW was a 50kW clear channel station, and 
>> one of a handful that had their frequency to themselves at night for all 
>> of North America, which is why the Commission might have considered 
>> licensing them for 500kW. As I recall, the other might have been WOAI, on 
>> 1200 kHz.
