[GreenKeys] KSM Granted 6Mc RTTY Frequency

[Richard Dillman]

The FCC has granted our application for an additional RTTY frequency for KSM.  We're now authorized to use 6328.0kc for 300HF1B emission at 5kW TPO.

The crack MRHS Transmitter Department will begin work early in the new year aimed at putting a transmitter on this frequency as soon as possible.  The transmitter will be one of the ex-KPH Henry HF5000D SITOR transmitters.  The antenna will be a double extended Zepp.

We selected 6Mc for the additional channel because the KSM 6Mc Morse signal does so well both day and night.

An announcement will be made via this list when the 6328.0kc channel is in service.

Until then we wish you the very best for the holidays.

VY 73,

RD
