[BC] WOWO

>It is interesting that WOWO only went 50 kW in 1954

Under the original allocation plan, Regionals were limited to 5 kW, with 
most Regionals being limited to 0.5 kW or 1 kW, nights, and Clears were 
10 kW, with only a few being 50 kW.

So-called "high-powered Regionals" were also limited to 10 kW, in part 
because of their very high frequency, 1460-1490, later to be reassigned 
1500-1530, when these were also reassigned Class I-B.

So, 10 kW is consistent with the plan for the Clears, and KYW and 
numerous others ran 10 kW, nights, until DA theory was proved.

It is tragic that WOWO, once the dominant station on 1190, and, 
therefore, a de-facto Class I-A, is now degraded to a Class B, and not 
even to 10 kW, but 9.8 kW.
