[Elecraft] An Operating Elecraft CW Buffs Might Enjoy

RD is a great guy himself and he has put a huge number of hours into keeping
KPH alive and on the  air whenever possible. 

The KPH site is a true bit of history, and  if you're in the San Francisco
Bay Area for the event, do stop in and bring you key if so inclined to join
in  the fun!

Subject: [Radiomarine] K6KPH OTA For Marconi Day



The Maritime Radio Historical Society (MRHS) is 
pleased to announce that its amateur station 
K6KPH will be participating in International 
Marconi Day 2008.

International Marconi Day (IMD), sponsored by the 
Cornish Amateur Radio Club, is a 24-hour amateur 
radio event held annually to celebrate the birth of 
Guglielmo Marconi on the 25th April 1874.

IMD is usually held on the Saturday closest to Marconi's 
birthday, when amateur radio stations are operated from 
original historic sites around the world. 
Stations may apply to the Cornish Amateur Radio Club for 
awards for contacting these stations.

With transmitters at the site established in Bolinas, 
CA by the American Marconi Company in 1913, K6KPH has 
a direct connection to the great inventor.

K6KPH will begin IMD operations at 5:00pm pdt (0000gmt)
on Saturday, 26 April. Transmitting frequencies will
be 3550.0, 7050.0 and 14050.0kc. All transmissions 
will of course be in Morse code.

The public is invited to visit K6KPH to observe the 
station in action. Qualified Morse operators wishing 
to operate K6KPH are invited to bring their keys and 
headphones. No amateur license is required.

Those intending to visit should reply to this message 
for detailed information and directions.
