[BC] WLW related historical question

[Xmitters@aol.com]

Hello,

I have heard from different sources that WLW operated the 500 kW monster 
during the experimental period, after their full time use of the beast was revoked 
by the FCC. Which begs the question, when (as in the approximate year) did 
the FCC make the rule that you could not use more than your maximum authorized 
power during the experimental period?

And for extra credit, do you know if this rule change was as a result of 
WLW's rare but apparently often enough tests of the 500 kW rock crusher to be 
annoying to the FCC.

I do not have any concrete proof that WLW ever operated the 500 kW rig at any 
time after they lost the privilege to use the rig full time. Therefore, those 
stories could be untrue.

What better question to ponder at 6 AM on Saturday? Yea, yea, I know I should 
get a life; and if I can't do that, at least get a half-life.

Indulge me if you can.
