Hey, Pat.
I'll look at the wlw link when I get the chance here.
Takes me back to the good old days when A M dxing was alive and well!
I still remember how excited I was when I first discovered it as a kid, just
playing around with a little A M radio one night.
Probably is part of what got me interested in ham radio in the first place.

Tom,
I agree with your assesment of cleqr channels. Isn't it WOAI on 820
- not by itself in the Chicagoland area any more. And WSM has company.
A friend sent me the following link about WLW several years
ago. Just tried it and it still works. Lots of interesting history.
Enjoy!!
Pat, K9JAU
