We all know that Paul Jellison had that Western Electric on the air at 
midnight Y2K.

With Randy Michaels gone from CC and WLW AM, and Paul gone from WLW, I hope 
they still care about history.

During a visit to the site with Paul, Barry Mishkind, and me, plus Mike 
Martini and Mark Magistrelli of WVXU/Media Heritage, it was discovered that 
the original documentation of the 'Super Power' debates of the late '30's 
were stacked behind the 500KW TX.

I have a pix I took during an SBE meeting of the 50KW - 500KW antenna 
switch handle in the basement. Very matter-of-fact, make your choice!!
