"Night of Nights XXII"
Monday 12 July 2021

KPH, the ex-RCA coast station returns to the air for commemorative 
broadcasts every year on July 12 at 5:01 pm PDT (13 July at 0001 GMT). 
On July 12, 1999, the last commercial Morse transmission in the U.S. was 
thought to have been broadcast at 5 pm PDT (13 July at 0000 GMT). 
Transmissions are expected to continue until at least midnight PDT 
(0700 GMT).

This year's event that the annual Night of Nights event will be run in 
the Park, and that limited staff access is permitted.
It is a major milestone to return to BL and RS for Night of Nights, but 
we must operate under strict guidelines with limited numbers of 
vaccinated crew at both locations. Regretfully the festivities will not 
be open to visitors or guest operators this year, so sadly Night of 
Nights XXII must be a non-public event.

K6KPH, the amateur radio station of the Maritime Radio Historical 
Society, will also be on the air receiving signal reports and messages 
from Morse code enthusiasts around the world. At 5:01 pm PDT on July 12 
(0001 GMT 13 July), the MRHS volunteers will send the traditional Night 
of Nights opening message. They will then stand by for calls or will 
call CQ NON orCQ NIGHT OF NIGHTS.This gives Maritime Radio Historical 
Society information about how well the stations are being heard and 
gives amateur stations the experience of what it was like to work a real 
coast station.

Stations on the Air:

Stations KPH, KFS and K6KPH will be participating in Night of Nights 
XXII. Here are the particulars for these stations:
KPH: 426, 500, 4247.0, 6477.5, 8642.0, 12808.5, 17016.8, 22477.5
KFS: 12695.5
KPH and KFS will listen for calls from ships on 500kc and ITU Channel 3 
on HF. Here are the frequencies for ITU Channel 3 in each band:
4184.0, 6276.0, 8368.0, 12552.0, 16736.0, 22280.5

K6KPH: 3550, 7050, 14050, 21050
K6KPH calling procedure: We follow commercial operating practices as 
closely as possible for K6KPH. To call K6KPH select one of the 
frequencies above and call K6KPH repeatedly until the operator responds 
with DE. Then send your call sign and any other relevant information.
Since Night of Nights is usually a busy event for K6KPH you may find the 
station already in contact with another station. In that case make your 
call using the above procedure at the end of the previous contact. The 
operator at K6KPH may respond with QRY and a number. This means that you 
are number 1, number 2, etc., on the list. It's just like taking a 
number at the bakery. Stand by and the K6KPH operator will call you in turn.

>  Commemorative Messages
Was your father, uncle or grand dad a commercial op or amateur operator? 
Would you like to send a commemorative message in their honor over KPH? 
We have sent several of these messages in past events and they were all 
very moving. If you would like us to send such a message this year 
please send it to us no later than Saturday 10 July Pacific time so we 
can be sure to include it. Send it to info at radiomarine.org
