And as Sammy said, it was either the common Tower frequency,

I *think* 3023.5 kHz was for calling "Radio", who could respond
either on VHF or on the local LF/MF 4-course Adcock Range station.
If that's right, then 3105 kHz probably was the frequency for =
calling the Tower,
who could respond on the fixed frequency of 278 kHz as standard,
or on a small number of alternative HF frequencies if other towers =

Whew. I'd have to dig through some old stuff to remember this =

I have some 1945 WACs for Southern California. I don't see that =
frequency on those charts. I do see
126.18 all over the place, and some 140+ MHz. And, some really low =
frequency stuff as well.

OK, Sammy, I dug up a 1955 Albany Sectional (price 25 cents!), and I =
couldn't find any reference to 3023.5 or 3105 on it, either.
But "Albany Radio" could transmit on the Albany LF/MF Range station at =
263 kHz, as well as Albany VOR at 116.9 MHz.
Albany Tower's transmitting frequencies were 278 kHz, 118.7 MHz, and =
257.8 MHz.
Nearby Schenectady Tower transmitted on 284 kHz, 126.18 MHz, and 257.8 =
MHz.

Elmira Tower used LF 278 kHz, too, but its neighboring Binghamton Tower =
used LF 332 kHz.
Both Syracuse and Rochester Towers, up to the north, were far enough =
separated to re-use 278 kHz again.
I gotta stop this nostalgic stuff. I'm forcing this thread out of =
control.
