HISTORIC MORSE CODE STATION TO BROADCAST FROM ORIGINAL MARCONI SITE

The Maritime Radio Historical Society, in cooperation with the Marconi
Conference Center, will return historic Morse code radio station KPH to the
air
from its original Marin county, CA location on Sunday, 26 February.

KPH, once called the “"wireless giant of the Pacific�", arrived in Marin
county in the early 1920s.  With its receiving station at Marshall, CA and
transmitters at Bolinas, CA, KPH provided telegram service to ships at sea
via
Morse code.

Operation at Marshall continued until the beginning of WWII when KPH was
shut down for the duration.  After the war the receiving station was moved
to
the Pt. Reyes peninsula.  But on Sunday, 26 February, KPH will return to the
air from Marshall for the first time since 1942.

Vintage equipment will be used.  The transmitters at Bolinas will be
operated remotely from Marshall just as was originally done.  Messages will
be
exchanged with historic ships including the SS Red Oak Victory, a WWII
Victory
ship using its original radio equipment.  And radiograms will be accepted
from
the public for transmission by Morse code and delivery anywhere in the U.S.

On HF, KPH will transmit on 6477.5kc and listen for calls from ships on
6276.0kc.

On MF, KPH will transmit on 500kc and 426kc.

K6KPH will also be operational for handling radiogram traffic from visitors
to the event.  K6KPH will guard 7050kc for calls.

Reception reports may be sent to:

Ms. DA Stoops
P.O. Box 381
Bolinas CA 94924-0381
USA

Operations are expected to begin at 1000pst/1800gmt.

The public is invited to visit the receive site at Marshall.  For directions
