The WCC VVV de WCC QSX beacon
was an old friend, probably the first CW I ever tried to copy as a JN SWL in the east 60s.  Last heard it in 1996 while driving past their transmitter site in Chatham/Dennisport on Cape Cod on while on the way home from
a January VHF Contest multi op activation
from the Marconi Beach National Park, it’s location is east enough to place it in the FN51 grid square.  Was listening to WCBS Newsradio on 880 KHZ AMand in the vicinity of Chatham and Dennisport, what I assume must have been the 2nd harmonic of WCCs LF marine CW band signal near 440 kHz made a very nice note beating against WCBS’s carrier.

WCBS News Radio itself will be going dark
tomorrow August 26.  The call sign goes away as well, I understand that the station will now be an all sports format with a new call sign.

Richard Knoppow,  I will indeed contact the folks at radiomarine.org.
