@Quarter Gauger 48 posted:Actually the tower that broadcasted for KDKA was located in Mexico. So was the original station. There was some problem with getting the OK from the powers to be over the music the station was going to play. So they opened in Mexico just over the boarder. This also enhanced the signal, and the station was heard throughout Texas, and much of the central west. In later years after regulations were lifted, It was one of the first 50,000 Watt stations in the US....
Really? Where did this information come from. From what I understand the transmitter has always been in Pittsburgh. Seems odd to have the studio in Pittsburgh and the transmitter thousands of miles away in Mexico and back then I doubt there was even a way to connect the 2 over that distance. Are we talking about the same thing?
Now about those figures in your pictures...who makes them?
