[CW] Night of Nights 2014 in Full Swing

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr. via CW]

I have heard KPH, KFS, KSM (San Francisco) and WLO (Mobile, Alabama).

Frequencies in use are below.

MRHS Stations San Francisco

Sixteen transmitters will be on the air from the MRHS transmitter site in
Bolinas. That doesn't include transmitters held in ready reserve in case of
failure. Members of the crack MRHS Transmitter Department and the H Set
Team will be on hand to assure that all goes well.

The receive site may be contacted by phone on 415-669-9646

USCG Stations

NOTICE!

This may very well be the last time ever that USCG stations can be heard on
the air using A1A (Morse) emission. As new equipment is installed the
hardware and wiring for Morse has been progressively removed. And the
personnel who knowledgeable in the art retire or are reassigned. So be sure
to listen for these stations.

Many USCG personnel at all levels are responsible for bringing these
stations back on the air for Night of Nights 2104. We want to particularly
thank ET1 Mike Leska for taking the lead for this year's project.

> NMC (Transmit Bolinas, Receive Pt. Reyes)

Frequency Transmitter Antenna

448.0 Nautel ND2500TT/6 173' monopole tower

NOTE regarding NMC/NMQ/NMW MF transmissions. Only one MF transmitter will
be in service at each station. Morse transmissions will be made on an
as-available basis from each station as USCG operators must also
accommodate scheduled NAVTEX transmissions.
