This is a fascinating look at the full details of the 500 Kw AM station WLW. Broadcasting at 700 kHz, this was the most powerful AM station in the US (and maybe more?). It has been carefully preserved. The tour is conducted by several hams that show and describe the station, from concept to completion. The film is about 30-minutes long, so watch it when you have a little time to spend. I think you will enjoy it. There is a commercial at the beginning. You can click the "Skip Ad" after a short while.

This one will take you to the interesting history of the FADA Radio / TV company, and it's founder A. D. Andrea. If you have the slightest interest in the history of broadcast development, you'll enjoy this in-depth article.
