[Milsurplus] Base Carrier Current ( Milsurplus Vol 132, Issue 4 )

[Hue Miller]

Ray, what years approx are we talking about here, the base carrier current 
stations?
Did they use call letters, made-up or real?
That's news to me; I'd never heard of them before.
Interesting that you say, 1 kW level. This was also the standard level of 
the AFRS
stations, the ones with the four-letter  WX-- calls. Also the power level of 
the
Mobile Broadcasting units that traveled with the U.S. forces in Europe WWII.

As a youngster I walked the long halls of the wooden building hospital 
complex
at Ft. Lawton, Seattle, with a radio in hand, trying to find station "KURE", 
which I'd
noticed some sign about. I could never find anything like that, and I think 
I finally
decided it was some kind on intercom wired-broadcast.

Often wonder what happened to all the old RCA AM carrier current 
transmitters that were once in military service as broadcast systems for 
military establishments?
