[Thursday] Goes along with our WLW Tube

[David Crowell]

 The W8XAL shortwave transmitter went on the air in 1926 annd later was called WLWO.
>From Wikipedia:
"In 1925 Crosley received a license for an experimental shortwave station, 8XAL (W8XAL after 1928)."
In 1926 8XAL was on air with 100 watts, which increased to 10,000 watts in 1931. In 1940 the station was relicensed as a commercial station, with the call letters WLWO. In early 1941 it was operating with 75 kilowatts, with a program service particularly aimed at South America, and was known as "The Inter-Nation Station" 

Here is a video from the VOA Museum about the WLWO shortwave station.WLWO Launched the Voice of America

 POWEL CROSLEY, JR AT RADIO CONTROL PANEL

4/27/1934-Cincinnati, OH- Powel Crosley, Jr., young radio magnate, is shown here at the control console of his new 500,000-watt transmitter, WLW, the largest broadcasting station ever built, which was dedicated recently. 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.
