Back when the cold war was still going, and we had an air-raid drill, we could tune to the civil-defense points on our AM dials and get information from our government.
This marking was still used on car radios up into the 1960's. Can anyone else enlighten us more here? Bruce |

This link gives some information. Every radio when I was growing up had the little white triangles, and I remember lots of public service ads on radio, tv, and in print reminding us to tune to 640 or 1240 in the event of an attack.
