I was an owner back then, too. I owned WRBW using a Knight-Kit
Wireless Broadcaster. Years later when WOAI became an affiliate of
mine I confessed to using 1200KHz. I actually "sold" time. The local
record shop gave me a couple of 45s a week and the local theatre let
me in free. WRBW was a "whatevertimer."
Fortunately, I knew something about electricity or I's probably be
toast. If the polarity was wrong the chassis was hot. The plug wasn't
polarized.
