Yes that was the only transmission I recall hearing from them. It made me wonder why someone would put up a station just for 'circuit adjustment purposes' and nothing else. I wondered what kind of circuit would need such constant adjustment! Looking back I suppose that they transmitted on several frequencies simultaneously and the purpose of the constant transmissions was so that the receiving stations could pick the best frequency for the conditions. --=20 73 Warren K2ORS =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 WD2XGJ =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 WD2XSH/23 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 WE2XEB/2 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 WE2XGR/1 On Sun, Jun 28, 2009 at 9:53 AM, Dexter McIntyre W4DEX= wrote: > My first short wave receiver was a Knight Kit Star Roamer I built around > 1960. =A0One of the first receptions I heard was a transmission that kep= t > repeating a message something like this: =A0This is a test transmission= for > circuit adjustment purposes. =A0This transmission originated form an off= ice of > the American Telephone and Telegraph Company and is located near White > Plains New York. =A0I received this signal from time to time for many ye= ars on > several different frequencies. =A0Many years later while reminiscing abo= ut our > past radio experiences with a retired AT&T engineer I asked him about th= e > test transmission. =A0He recalled hearing the same signals which he beli= eved > was for the HF High Seas Radiotelephone Service. =A0I've never found any > information about a White Plains site but there is some documentation on= line > about several other AT&T High Seas HF Radio locations. > > Dex > > mal hamilton wrote: >> >> I remember a radio station on HF SSB years ago WHITE PLAINS.

Yes that was the only transmission I recall hearing from th= em.

Looking back I suppose th= at they transmitted on several frequencies
