Now AM stations, that brings out the old WLW stories. WLW is the clear channel station in Cincinnati. Before the FCC cut them back to 50kw, they were rumored to run 500+. Farmers working on barbed wire fences heard them. (other farmers FELT them, when they grabbed the wire) Folks with metal roofs, too. Some poor folks with dental work were SURE they heard voices telling them to do things. Last I heard, WLW still has the old transmitter, just waiting for the rules to change again. -- Read my Lisp!
