AT&T High Seas HF R/T service going QRT

[Jeffrey Herman]

Hi Gang,
We've been witnessing the closure of radiotelegraph shore stations
over the years; now comes word that AT&T will be closing their
high seas HF radiotelephone service at 11:59 Eastern time on
9 October. (I found out that info after having called AT&T to
inquire about which VHF marine channel the marine operator monitors.)

If there is anything beneficial in these stations (CW and SSB) going
QRT, it's that hams might someday be awarded frequencies in the 4, 6,
8, 12, 16, and 22 MHz (soon to be former) maritime bands.

73, Jeff KH6O
