(Apologies for any cross-posting)

I'm delving into the history of a little-known FCC mandate to U.S. 
Broadcasters, to reduce transmitter operating power during World War II. 
The power reduction went into effect in 1942 and was lifted in 1945.

Little seems available through normal search engines so I'm asking readers 
if they can supply anecdotal or factual references that might help us flesh 
out this story.

Anything you can add would be useful!
