Subject: RE: Help: WWVA Wattage In The Late 1950s
Just checked the blue clicky that Joe provided and found a couple of things that don't seem right to me. I used to listen to Wolfman when I was stationed in Oklahoma and I would have sworn he was broadcasting on KRIO, Del Rio, which had its transmitter across the border and was all over the right-hand side of the dial with its 250,000 watts.

The other thing the article mentions is that he was born in Brooklyn, but when he died a few years ago all the stories that moved on the wires said he was a native of some small town (I don't remember the name) in eastern North Carolina. It might be one of those things of being born in Brooklyn and moving to NC very shortly afterward, or something like that — I can't say for sure.
