Test that Failed

[Chip Fetrow]

Once every 10 minutes to see if local stations were still on the air.   
This mated well with the legally required ID.

Several companies made carrier fail receivers for the amateur  
community which would alarm on the BC carrier going away.  Many had  
provisions to prevent the amateur transmitter from going on the air.   
I'm sure many hams of that day built their own, likely adding to an  
existing BCB radio.
