The WLW 500Kw transmitter still exists today-but is nonfunctional.The original Crosley 50Kw driver transmitter still works and is occasionally used by WLW.Like most other modern 50Kw AM stations they now have a Harris-Radio One solid state 50Kw transmitter.The WLW site is a museam for older transmitters. | ||
