Hello All,

Some of you may already be aware of this (from MRHS website):

The FCC has granted a license for a new, common carrier, class 1A CW
coast station to the Maritime Radio Historical Society (MRHS), the
group
that brought ex-RCA coast station KPH back to life.

The MRHS applied for the license to assure that US commercial Morse
operations will continue into the future. We believe this must be the
first time in many years that the FCC has granted a new license for
this
service.

The hours of operation for the station have not yet been determined.
But
the basic details are:

Call: KSM

Frequencies: 426, 500, 6474 and 12993kc

Power: 5kW all frequencies

HISTORIC MORSE CODE RADIO STATION
RETURNS TO THE AIR

Former RCA Station KPH Celebrates Its 100th Anniversary

COAST STATION KSM WILL MAKE ITS INAGURAL TRANSMISSION

COAST STATIONS WLO, KLB, NMC AND NOJ TO BE ON THE AIR

In the sixth annual event that has become known as the "Night of
Nights", historic Morse code radio station KPH will return to the air
in commemoration of the last commercial Morse message sent in the
United States.

This year's Night of Nights is special: it's the 100th anniversary of
KPH, KSM will appear on the air for the first time and four other
US coast stations will be on the air, several of them on MF in addition
to HF.

Frequencies and reception report information for all stations appear
below.

KPH, the ex-RCA coast station located north of San Francisco, will
return to the air for commemorative broadcasts on 12 July at 1701 PDT
(13 July at 0001 GMT), 6 years and one minute after the last
commercial Morse transmission in the US. These on-the-air events are
intended to honor the men and women who followed the radiotelegraph
trade on ships and at coast stations around the world and made it one
of honor and skill.

Transmissions are expected to continue until at least midnight PDT
(0700GMT).

Veteran Morse operators, including former KPH staff members, will be
on duty at the receiving station at Point Reyes, CA listening for
calls from ships and sending messages just as they did for so many
years before Morse operations were shut down.

The transmitters are located 18 miles south of Point Reyes in
Bolinas, CA at the transmitting station established in 1913 by the
American Marconi Co. The original KPH transmitters, receivers and
antennas will be used to activate frequencies in all the commercial
maritime HF bands and on MF as well.

Many of the KPH transmitters will be 50s vintage RCA sets. KSM will use
a 1940s vintage Press Wireless PW-15 transmitter on 12Mc. Power output
will be 4 to 5kW. The transmitting antennas include a Marconi T for
MF, double extended Zepps for 4, 6 and 8Mc and H over 2s for 12, 16
and 22Mc.

KPH will send traffic lists, weather and press broadcasts as well as
special commemorative messages, many of which will be sent by hand.
At other times the KPH and KSM "wheel" will be sent to mark the
transmitting frequencies.

Members of the public are invited to visit the receiving station for
this event. The station will be open to visitors beginning at
1500PDT (3:00pm). The station is located at 17400 Sir Francis Drake
Boulevard and is on the route to the Point Reyes lighthouse. Watch
for a cypress lined driveway on the right about a mile past the entry
to Coast Guard station NMC.

KPH is operated by the Maritime Radio Historical Society in
cooperation with the Point Reyes National Seashore, part of the
National Park Service.
