each year on the weekend closest to Marconi's birthday of 25 April 1874.
This year the event will be held on 21 April UTC.

Since K6KPH transmits from the original Marconi site that went into service
in 1914 it is a registered IMD station

to stations that contact 15 officially registered IMD stations like K6KPH.

*> Date & Time *- K6KPH will be in operation Saturday 21 April beginning at
0000 UTC (5:00 pm Friday 20 April PDT).  Operations will continue for
several hours until our operators run out of steam.  See below if you would
like to be a K6KPH operator for this event!

*> Frequencies* - K6KPH will guard these frequencies:

3550.0
7050.0
14050.0
18097.5

*> Calling Procedure* - Since we will have KPH on the air as well (see
below), the operators will be very busy and may not be able to call CQ on
each amateur channel.  But they will be scanning all the channels.  So the
best bet is to use commercial procedure when calling K6KPH:

Continue to call on your chosen frequency until the K6KPH operator responds
with DE.  Then respond with your call sign.

The station can be reached by phone on +1 415-669-9646 if you want to call
in a report or arrange a special listening watch.  The phone will be
answered only when the station is on the air.

*> Be a K6KPH Operator* - If you would like to be a K6KPH operator for IMD
we would welcome your help.  Bring your key and 'phones or use ours (but be
advised that some modern electronic keys may not work with the K6KPH keying
system so bugs and straight keys are encouraged).  Show up early so we can
familiarize you with the K6KPH equipment and procedures.  You'll be using
fixed frequency 1.5kW commercial transmitters 20 miles from the
receive/control site so operations are a little different from usual
amateur practice!  For more information please send an email to
info at radiomarine.org

*> KPH Will Be On The Air *- KPH will be transmitting on these frequencies
and will of course be listening for calls from ships on 500kc and ITU
channel 3 HF.
