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. > Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2010 19:00:15 -0700 > From: l8r2...@digging4roots.com > To: irca@hard-core-dx.com > Subject: [IRCA] Off the wall question > > I was noticing the other day, my 1948 Firestone radio I keep in the > workshop goes up to 1700kc.
