WLW


WLW AM 700 in Cincinnati Ohio was one of the earlier AM stations to use a  Blaw Knox radio tower. The antenna has a distinct "diamond" shape and the transmissions can be easily heard in my hometown of Charleston, WV. 



The difference between day and night is drastic but I can usually hear WLW until noon and then early towards sunset.
