Several months ago the Maritime Radio Historical Society was
fortunate
enough to rescue two 15kW Press Wireless PW-15 1940s vintage
transmitters from the Globe Wireless transmitting site of KFS
south of
San Francisco.  These historic transmitters were on the air for
the
Press Wireless point to point service in Belmont, CA, then at the
KFS
site when Globe acquired Press Wireless.  We believe one of the
transmitters was in service at KFS on the last day of American
commercial Morse on July 12, 1999.

One of the transmitters has just been returned to service and
will be
on the air for Straight Key Night transmitting press and
weather.  We
would particularly appreciate reception reports on this
transmitter.

Frequency: 12695.5kc
Power: 7kW
Call: KFS

As a reminder KPH will also be on the air with press and weather
on
426kc (primary) and 500kc (calling).

K6KPH will be on the air on 3545kc, 7060kc, 14050kc and possibly
21050kc if conditions warrant.

Reception reports and QSLs may be sent to:
