This month Shannon Huniwell's Broadcast Classics column explores these powerful stations, complete with some original photos and pamphlets from the era of clear channel broadcasting. Click on this link to read an excerpt from Shannon's Broadcast If it isn't a feature or regular column and doesn't have a regular "fit" in Pop'Comm, it sometimes never makes it to print.

You've probably already got the tools to fix the one you've got stashed away in the attic. Let this month's Wireless Connection be your guide beginning on page 44, complete with illustrative photos and schematic.
