(from arpanaut) Re: Watch It! and tapping the power of radio stations Back in the days before the FCC put a 50,000 Watt limit on AM stations, there were two 500,000 W stations broadcasting in Cincinnati (my home town). They were WLW (700 KHz) and WCKY (1560 KHz). It is rumored that people living near the tower north of town would not have to turn the switch on to get their flourescent lamps to light; I have also been told that WLW used to drown out a station in Toronto that also broadcasted at 700KHz. So much for clear signals.
