[BC] AM Protection

[David Gleason]

Several articles in my '35 and '36 Broadcasting Magazines address this. The
idea was to reduce clears to 16 to 20 and raise to 750 kw.

WBZ!

Mark Durenberger no doubt knows more about this than I do, but back in the 
60s-70s when there was talk of allowing the I-A clears to go to 750 kW, 
Westinghouse acknowledged that there was no way that KDKA and WBZ could 
co-exist with 750 kW each at night. They were prepared even then to keep 
KDKA at 50 kW and allow WBZ to get the big juice (with a proposal to put 
the transmitter in Provincetown, at the tip of Cape Cod!), accepting 
whatever interference was received to KDKA.

The present situation is eerily similar.
