A.: At 931 he called up and acid he might have to land here on account of icing. and at first I couldn't quite get his signal. Re ception was poor and there was quite a bit of noiae. I stood by. A minute after at .52 l’ gave him the weather aa requested and the number 14 runway and I told him we were standing by for any in- formation that be wanted. At .58 I called up the airport manager to have him put green lights at the end of the runway, if they weren't on. At .5’! there was this aircraft calling me and he was very weak. I don't know if it was this or an- other one. I finally got,it-it was another aircraft over the gulf somewhere.
