    That will give KPH something to work.

     Maritime radio station KPH, in Marin, California, has been
preserved. This was an RCA marine radio station which was built on
Federal land, and so the Golden Gate National Recreation Area ended
up owning it when it shut down.  It's intact, with much of the
original equipment, most of which has been restored.  There are
sizable buildings and acres of antenna farm.

     The people doing the restoration applied to the FCC for a
maritime radio HF station license, and the FCC granted it.  So
they're a real maritime station, authorized far higher power than
ham stations, even though there are few stations to talk to.
They work various museum ships around the world, mostly. They're
on the air most Saturdays.

     They have a Teletype link with a Model 15 between the transmitter
and receiver sites, which are miles apart. They also have various
Morse perforator  devices and transmitters, which they actually
use.

     So there's a group which might accept equipment donations.
