[MRCA] Maritime Radio Historical Society Event

[B. Smith]

This is always an interesting event, I have relayed the email from the
Maritime Radio Historical Society.

My personal goal is to try and receive as many stations as possible and attempt to pick up the LF transmissions,  evidently the "final" frequency list and Station Location will be announced on 9 July

-----------------------Orginal Email------------------------------------------
Night of Nights 2013 will take place on 12 July (Pacific time).

Coast stations KPH, KFS and our own KSM will be on the air.  Most frequencies will be activated with vintage transmitters.  Plus we have just be informed that US Coast Guard station NMC will be on the air.  We hope (but can't yet confirm) that WLO and KLB will be on the air as well.

This annual event, sponsored by the Maritime Radio Historical Society (MRHS), commemorates the sending of what was supposed to be the last commercial Morse message in North America.  But one year and one minute later we returned KPH to the air, picking up the thread and keeping the faith with the men and women who went before us and made the profession of radiotelegrapher one of honor and skill.  Every year since that first Night of Nights we have recognized and honored our heritage by returning these stations to the air on all marine frequencies from MF to HF.  And our amateur station, K6KPH, will be on the air as well.

I will post a list of frequencies to this email list early next week.  But it will be abbreviated our of respect for subscribers who may not be interested in this event.
