Morse code coast station KFS will return to the air for testing this
weekend.
KFS has a rich tradition and history that includes the use of high
powered arc transmitters and today's HF email system operated by
Globe Wireless. The last commercial Morse message in North
America was transmitted from the KFS master station in Half Moon
Bay, California.
In preparation for "Night of Nights III", the annual event in which the
Maritime Radio Historical Society returns ex-RCA coast station to
the air on its original commercial frequencies, permission has been
granted from Globe Wireless to return KFS to the air as well.
This weekend we will be testing one of the transmitters to be used
to activate KFS for Night of Nights III (12 July) on 17026.0kc., an
original KFS "A" frequency. Testing will begin at about 1300 to
1400PDT (2000 to 2100GMT) on Saturday, 1 June.
Reception reports would be most welcome. If you copy KFS
please reply to this message with details of the time of reception,
signal strength, your location and your receiving setup.
