Hello, In 1964 I was employed by Lorac Service Corporation, a company that provided HF navigational aids for seismograph boats operating along the Texas and Louisiana gulf coast in the 1.7 MHz range, long before GPS. Our HF ( AM ) communications frequencies were in the 2 and 5 MHz range.
One of the outstanding AM signals in the 2 MHz range at that time was the Galveston Marine Operator which provided 24 hour phone patches from the mainland to ships in the Gulf - again, long before cell phones. I think, but am not sure, that the transmitter was located near Pearland. If anyone out there remembers or has any information on this 2 MHz operation, I would like to contact you for more information on this station. I am interested in, among other things, who operated this station, and any/all descriptions of the equipment/antennas/power, ect. Thanks & 73, Sam Neal N5AF Cleveland, Texas _______________________________________________ BVARC mailing list [email protected] http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org
