I bet that was interesting.  I have a lot of good things about that group of 
transmitter engineers.

When we went to Dayton in 1988, we visited the VOA site at Bethony Ohio,
The engineer couldn't have been nicer.  He showed us the 20 foot high
antenna switches, the transmitter buildings, and opened up the off air 50 KW
A.M. transmitter and after checking it for safety, he let me pet the tubes
and tuning circuits.
Imagine those 6 MHZ rhombic antennas.  They and WLW were at the end of the
power lines in that direction.
