I figured as much but thought it would have been stronger given the 200 mile distance. Hope it was widely heard. The off the hook phone sounds and warbling tones cut through the mess.
Fun to have CPC tests again. G

I removed Paul from the Reply List, he will be happier.
George, if you were hearing those tones, you were hearing WNJC. I
think there should have been more "Station Identification Jingles"
broadcast, they were recognizable for exactly what they were and the
station call letters were quite readable.
But even with Morse code identification could be a problem, I was a
professional radiotelegrapher for many years and I had to have the
Morse repeated four times before I could be sure I copied the whole
thing - but what else could it be - but because of the error in
spacing
"D E" as two words, I wanted to be sure I could say "I heard WNJC" in
Morse when there was another error in that! There wasn't just the
incorrect spacing of "DE."
Best wishes,
David Ring
