		According to a civil defense pamphlet of the era, "Conelrad was devised to provide radio communications in a national emergency while denying enemy bombers the use of radio beams as an aid in finding targets.
		All broadcast stations and even ham radio operators were required to have an appropriate monitor and to cease normal transmission in the event of a Conelrad alert.
		Conelrad was replaced by the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) in 1963.

		An enemy navigator could thus tune to 770, for example, turn his plane until the station he heard was the strongest, and fly in that direction to New York City.
		CONELRAD - CONtrol of ELectronic RADiation - required all AM stations in the United States to sign off in the event of an enemy attack, save for those designated to stay on the air at either 640 or 1240.
		CONELRAD lives, though; in the memories of Cold War kids like me who were raised on radio, and in the collections of radio buffs who look for sets with dials that have those little triangles.

		CONELRAD (Control of Electromagnetic Radiation) was a planned method of emergency broadcasting to the public of the United States in the event of World War III.
		It served two purposes; to prevent Soviet bombers from homing in on American cities by using broadcasting stations as beacons, and to provide essential Civil Defense[?] information.
		Fictional treatments of how CONELRAD would work can be found in the novel Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank[?], and the 1962 movie Panic in the Year Zero[?].

	Re: Conelrad question (Site not responding. Last check: )
		CONELRAD was such a bad idea that it couldn't even have prevented the event that spawned it: the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
		Had we known about the departing bombers the moment they became airborne and activated a system of radio carriers going on and off from random places in the Hawaiian Islands, the signals fed into the ADFs would still have led the planes accurately to within visual range of the intended targets.
		I suppose the public expected the government to do something and CONELRAD, as silly as it was, probably served that need better than nothing at all.

		CONELRAD had a simple system for alerting the public and other "downstream" stations that consisted of a sequence of shutting the station off for five seconds, returning to the air for five seconds, again shutting down for five seconds, and then transmitting a tone for 15 seconds.
		CONELRAD was succeeded by the Emergency Broadcast System in 1963, and the Emergency Alert System in 1997, both administered by the FCC.
		Fictional treatments of how CONELRAD would work can be found in the novel Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank, and the 1962 movie Panic in Year Zero, as well as the CBS television network's 1958 made-for-TV movie A Day Called 'X'.

		In the midst of an on-going debate about how to make the best use of a national emergency alert system, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at one of the original alert systems dating back to the former Soviet Threat.
		Between 1953 and 1963, all radios sold in the United States were required to have the two CONELRAD frequencies marked clearly on the dial.
		CONELRAD was replaced with the Emergency Broadcast System, which stayed with us until it morphed into the Emergency Alert System.

	Editorial -- Considering Cosmic CONELRAD
		The whole idea is reminiscent of CONELRAD (an acronym for CONtrol of ELectromagnetic RADiation), a scheme practiced by AM broadcast stations in the US in the 1950s and '60s to prevent their carriers from being used as homing beacons by enemy (presumably Russian) bombers and missiles.
		When the alert was sounded, the idea went, all broadcast stations would go off the air, and citizens would tune to one of two assigned frequencies (640 and 1240 kHz) where emergency instructions would be broadcast from a network of widely separated stations.
		We were required, whilst on the air, constantly to monitor the AM broadcast band, and to immediately cease transmitting should the AM signals suddenly disappear, lest we bring down the bomb directly upon ourselves.

		CONELRAD, which stood for "Control of Electromagnetic Radiations", had its embryonic start in December, 1951 when President Harry Truman signed an Executive Order directing the FCC to set up a security system for all civilian radio services.
		The purpose of CONELRAD was to relay Civil Defense information to the public without allowing enemy aircraft to use our radio signals as a beacon for their direction finding equipment.
		With the importance of CONELRAD in the early 1950's, it's surprising that amateurs were not required to monitor for the CONELRAD alarm.
