So he called the station engineer. The engineer denied everything of course. This probably was in the 60s. Never heard anything connecting this to WLW???s super power days though.

	I remember noticing what sounded like very narrow shift FSK on a
couple of AM broadcast carriers  back then... so very narrow that it was
hard to be sure that one was really hearing it... or that it wasn't a
stability problem with the radio (a R-390A)... never did get around to
trying to copy it successfully though I did have 85 Hz shift VFT mux
RTTY capability back then. 

	Was not very surprised to hear about it when it became public
years later - sorta confirmed I wasn't just imagining something that was
really there.
