i remember bh, w5fqq, used to operate AM a lot during world war 2 and
later. he has since become a silent key. i wrote an article for the arrl
about him, a long time ago (2001). i forwarded this email to a friend of
mine who still operates AM every day. maybe he knows who it was. i have
pictures of w5fqq's station and his AM transmitter if anyone would like
to see them. just drop me an email as they cannot be attached through
the listserver.

You probably know that they took Raymondville apart.
I never got to see it.

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
