Is that WDAE now?.  That was one of the first directionals in the  country.  
It was WSUN for years 620 kHz. The had the first time I was  there an RCA 5F,  
Later on a RCA 5L2 we replaced with a CE 316F  two-tube with AM Stereo and 
the later on under Cox we install a 316G   solid state rig.  May have been 
replaced.
 
They originally were directional with WTMJ Milwaukee when they were on the  
same frequency  probably 600  before NRBA.  The two stations are  credited for 
being the first two DA's.     WDAE was on 1260  I think   but also was a real 
early station.  They used to have  papers in the glass cover bulletin board 
showing authorizations from the  Maritime Commission in New Orleans for 
oepration,  before the FRC and the  FCC. 
 
The last I heard WDAE and WFLA were being diplexed together when one of the  
got a power increase.  160 and 970 kHz.   Wilson Welch was CE and  is still 
CC's CE in the market a great guy and knows his stuff.
