         They are in the FAQ.

         www.oldradio.com/current/bc_faq.htm

         Look in the first section under regulation.  (#7)

         I doubt there will be a specific reference to
         "first" on that.... although I could be wrong.

         The issue seems to have been based on the
         development of base insulators, and
         I've read the 1928 time period was when
         they could support a full tower.

         Of course, there could have been shunt fed
         towers previously, not requiring a base
         insulator.  But that didn't see too popular
         at the time.
