I suspect this is the station. Algoa is near Galveston.
Sometimes the call books don't give exact locations plus coastal
stations usually had more than one site, one for transmitting and
one for receiving and sometimes separate locations for HF and MF.
I heard it on HF, could be heard pretty much 24 hours a day, it
was very strong and steady. I don't remember which band I mostly
heard it on.
I know I will never be as good as the good commercial or
coast guard operators but its a goal to pursue.
