Dorian Tenore-Bartilucci Help: WWVA Wattage In The Late 1950s (18) WWVA Wattage In The Late 1950s 26 Nov 99


My employer David Hajdu has posed another question for his book CHILDREN OF DARKNESS, and I'm hoping you folks can help. In the late 1950s, the historic Wheeling, WV radio station WWVA boosted its power late at night, enabling its signal to be received in the North. Does anyone know what time it boosted its power (midnight?), and during this boost, exactly how much wattage was it broadcasting with? I've called the current WWVA staff about this, but nobody seems to know who can answer this question, so I've ended up leaving voice mail messages but not getting any actual responses. If any Mudcats know this info or can steer us to a source for it, David and I would be very grateful! You can contact me directly at doriktb@banet.net. Thanks in advance for your help!
