Is it possibly GLX? I think that was the cw weather station on Galveston
I remember from the early 80's before GPS took over navigating in the
Gulf. On a sailboat in the Veracruz Regatta, it told us about hurricane
Bonnie (we only got big swells).

I have a trivia question for the Houston Oldtimers who may remember in
the 1950s (maybe) but certainly the 1960s, if you tuned to the bottom
of the AM broadcast band (520? 530kc?), there was a broadcast
station. It was a continuous repeating voice loop of weather info
followed by an ID. I think I remember it was Galveston/Houston
weather data, especially tidal info. For decades I remembered the
call ID because the repeated Morse Code identification got drummed in
my kid brain, but now that brain cell must have died because I no
longer remember. What was it? Coast Guard? Commercial Fishing? I
just don't remember and it's bugging me... but I'm hoping someone in
BVARC land remembers and can tell me so I can quit wondering.
Thanks,
