Crosely Radio inc's 1,000,000 Watt AM Station, in Cincinnati, Ohio,was inspired in the 1930's Dr. Brinkley's, 100,000 Watt, speech quality only, Off Shore illegal AM Station (on which, Dr. Brinkley offered "goat gonads, trans-plants") __ Gad this really happened!__ now! back to the topic of Class B amplifiers at home.
Sunday Noon, sitting around crunching Pistachio Nuts, watching TV__ Some After Thoughts occurred to me regarding 50,000 Watt AM Transmitters with 12,500 watt, Class B Audio Modulator Power Amplifiers & transmitting tube High-Quality Sound during the entire 1930's, up to the 1950's demise of AM broadcasting and movie theaters, forced by burgeoning Television.
I worked in Crosely Radio's burgeoning Military Communication Devision in Cincinnati, Ohio, briefly in 1950, just as Crosely was shutting down the 1,000,000 Watt AM Radio Station which Crosely had built to expand the market for Crosely small kitchen radio receivers, backed up by expanding AM Radio advertising markets.
I did visit this Huge Radio Station, And my point here is to mention the Huge 250,000 Watt Modulation Transformer spec'd at 30 Hz to 10,000 Hz. This transformer stood like a huge refrigerator, 7 ft high, 4 ft wide by 5 ft front to back, oil cooled. I know that Bell Labs & WECO didn't know where to stop, but this AM, station was unique. herki[quote/]
