Re: LF: WHITE PLAINS

[Dexter McIntyre W4DEX <dmcintyre@att.net>]

My first short wave receiver was a Knight Kit Star Roamer I built around 
1960.  One of the first receptions I heard was a transmission that kept 
repeating a message something like this:  This is a test transmission 
for circuit adjustment purposes.  This transmission originated form an 
office of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company and is located 
near White Plains New York.  I received this signal from time to time 
for many years on several different frequencies.  Many years later while 
reminiscing about our past radio experiences with a retired AT&T 
engineer I asked him about the test transmission.  He recalled hearing 
the same signals which he believed was for the HF High Seas 
Radiotelephone Service.  I've never found any information about a White 
Plains site but there is some documentation online about several other 
AT&T High Seas HF Radio locations.
