I am an EE student at Oklahoma State (Formerly Oklahoma A&M)–the school where the designer of the WLW [Super Power receiver], Amyle Richards, got his BSEE in 1927. <\/em><\/p>\n

[Richards]\u00a0wrote and submitted a masters thesis on the design of this radio, which earned him a PhD!).<\/em><\/p>\n
