Tow Boats-HF

You probably need to be an old timer to answer this one.

Many years ago tow boat companies had a regular net usually on the 4 Mz

marine band where they would have a roll call two times a day a get reports

from each captain as to their location, barge delivery status, and other important

info. Think they were on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.

There was a tow company in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Cincinnati who

did this on SSB. Was very interesting.. I've lost contact with many operations

on HF. This dates back to 1965-1970 era. Anyone hear anything like this

in recent times ?
