HF
Utility Stations
There were (and are) FCC designated
channels in the 4, 6, 8, and 12 MHz marine bands for ship-to-shore and
ship-to-ship communications. The shore stations in this
service were assigned one frequency in each band, while the ship
stations were authorized to use any of the utility channels.
Here' a list of Utility Stations licensed at Paducah, Ky. The date of the list is unknown, but since appears that it was extracted directly from the FCC database, a 1990s date is likely.
The emphasis of this history is on the 10
Public Coast stations, and information on the utility stations will not
be actively sought. However, information about them which is
received will be considered for incorporation. Needed data similar to that below
for the Great Lakes.
