Back story:
Maritime Radio Historical Society (MRHS) members have been unable to
access the KPH transmit and receive sites due to COVID-19
restrictions. In order to return commercial CW to the air we obtained
a Special Temporary Authority (STA) to use a transmit site in Valley
Springs, California for station KSM (we were unable to do this for KPH
because we don't own that license).
We will send transmissions beginning at 0100Z 4 October on 6474.0 and
8438.3 to test our remote keying arrangement and general operations.
While we are using KSM frequencies the call sign associated with the
STA is WRJG440.

If this test works well we may modify the KSM license to permanently
show the Valley Springs site as a transmitter location.
Your reports would be greatly appreciated. Remember, please send them
to ksm at radiomarine.org
Thanks and good listening....
