So from all this one can asume that W10XEG was a portable experimental
station -- probably for early TV

Wow! It has been so many years since I worked at WROC AM/FM/TV and WOKR
(TV). Their microwave links had some weird call signs. I don't recall, but
remember thinking at the time that they resembled amateur call signs. Note
I said "resembled". They wouldn't be assigned a call that could possibly be
issued to an amateur, but your example of W10 would be a distinct
possibility.

The calls you list appear to be remote links for radio back when. Thanks
for an interesting post!

Best regards from Rochester, NY
