The ITU List of Coast Stations and the Admiralty List of Radio Stations
(ALRS) both required the coast stations to be listed by their transmitter
locations because if a ship ever used radio direction finding on them there
would be major problems. Thus Ocean Gate Radio, NJ for WOO while the
receiver site was in Manehawkin, NJ. Bolinas RCA Radio KPH while their
receiver site was Inverness, KFS - I forget what their transmitter location
was but their receive location was Half Moon Bay, CA.
Tuckerton, NJ radio, WSC became West Creek, NJ radio when the transmitter
was located at the receive site in West Creek on Murphy Drive:

but not a CW station!
