[BC] Frequency Measuring

[gRAdy Moates]

    I remember Claude measuring WJHO, Opelika, AL, 1 kW 
on 1400, changed to WANI in 1997.  The call letters were 
for the station's founder, John Herbert Orr, co-founder of 
Ampex and founder of Orr-tronics and make of Irish 
recording tape.  I'm sad to see that the call letters have 
changed.  

    When I worked there, Claude insisted that we modulate 
the transmitter during the test with the "old-style" telco dial 
tone from AT&T days, because he said that it "cut through" 
the noise better than anything else.  

    When the local company switched to the dual-tone 
dial tone that we all know and love today, we had to 
use a recording of the old one.  

    Claude was also dead-set against the use of the 
term "Hertz" to replace cycles-per-second.  We talked 
about that at 2 AM on a number of nights.
