WLW - A Super Station - 500 KW transmitter site

"...A 75 foot square pond held the water used to cool the transmitter,

Great tribute site. Love this kind of history.

Bringing yesterday's CB radio fun into the 21st century.

If you're in the SE-PA area, join us Wednesday nights on Ch 13 for "Classic Radio Roundup", where you can hear a bunch of yesterday's radios strut their stuff in fine style.
