During my sea-going days it was quite common for marine R/T stations to transmit a loop tape for a period when a ship called so that the ship's R/O could accurately tune his SSB receiver for link calls. The coast station operator would then call the ship and the link call or whatever could then be set up. Sydney/VIS used to come back with something like: 'This is the Eastern terminal of the Australian Overseas Telecommunications Commission". Not sure about White Plains though. The AT&T marine R/T station in that area was WOO at Ocean Gate which I think was somewhere near Cape Cod. Maybe White Plains was a point -to-point operation. 73 Ian, G4EXD |
