It seems CODAR stations have 4-letter IDs besides any FCC-assigned call sign. I've yet to find a chart matching the FCC ID with the 4-letter ID. The station you heard on 4.750 MHz, Glenn, appears to be SGRV at Singing River, MS. [Viz.: 162 SGRV Singing Ri USM 4.75 -25.7339 CODAR Ocean Sensors.

As you can see from the station file listing, CODAR (Coastal Ocean Dynamics Applications Radar) stations operate on a variety of HF frequencies.
