Our WISN is coming up on its 85th anniversary.  I have found tapes 
from the 40's, live stuff interviewing people in the streets on VJ 
day, the day we increased to a whopping 5kW and some live concert 
stuff.  I have also found pics from the 20's with one of the first 
transmitters.  You never know what you find at the transmitter site 
until you start to dig around.  Now if only those DX44s were still 
around........
