Never saw the ITT station in Galveston,  but I did get to see the station at ITT McKay, Algoa, TX (south of Houston on Hwy 6). I was fresh out of the Brown Water Navy on the rivers of Vietnam, APL 55/YRBM 18 was home water base. 

David, is sure correct,  Joe - N0MU is a first class CW operator. Only wish I could be that good :-)

    KLC probably. KLC always came booming in to Los Angeles, much
stronger than the RCA station at Port Arthur WPA.  The old
records show that prior to WW-2 MacKay (ITT) had another call,
WGV in Galveston. I don't know the story behind this other than
coast stations were taken over by the government during the war
and some of the old calls were discontinued later. Possible David
Ring knows.
    If you got to visit the station I envy you.
