> I am in the midst of compiling a history of the former AT&T shortwave
> transmission facility that operated in our town beginning in 1929. For
> three decades it was the primary outbound telephone link from the USA
> to Europe and Latin America. At its peak it could generate one million
> watts on the 16, 22, and 32 meter bands. The 800-acre site is now a
> county park.

> Here are three questions I would like to throw out to the community:
> 
> (1) Does anyone have any personal memories, photographs, or documents
> regarding this station, or know of someone who might?
> 
> (2) Can anyone suggest why this particular site was chosen? Proximity
> to New York was one factor, but AT&T documents say "extensive tests"
> were conducted before settling on the site. I have had no luck in
> finding any. I assume this has something to do with ground
> conductivity but I am no expert on this.
> 
> (3) The initial antenna system in 1929 was of the "curtain" variety
> and it is well documented. Subsequently that system was replaced by a
> rhombic system, probably in the 1940s. There is very little
> documentation on this system and I would like to find some. The
> rhombic system remained in place until the station was decommissioned
> in 1963.

> Thanks in advance for any help. Please feel free to forward this query
