Re: [IRCA] Off the wall question

[Patrick Griffith <antennawizard@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

On my web site located at  http://community-2.webtv.net/AM-DXer/ is a 1939 QSL card from WNYF which was the New York City fire department dispatch station that broadcast fire calls on 1630 kHz. Apparently the station was primarily used to talk to fire boats. The boats answered back on 35.6 MHz.
