This operator's control is in itself a brilliant achievement in radio engineering. Through it is provided complete control and supervision, not only for the WLW transmitter, but also for the Crosley WSAL and short wave W8XAL transmitters.<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Len<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Sent using the mobile mail app</div>_______________________________________________<br>Thursday mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Thursday@newsm.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Thursday@newsm.org</a><br><a href="http://newsm.org/mailman/listinfo/thursday_newsm.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://newsm.org/mailman/listinfo/thursday_newsm.org</a><br></div>
