*USCG Stations*

**NOTICE!
**This may very well be the last time ever that USCG stations can be 
heard on the air using A1A (Morse) emission.  As new equipment is 
installed the hardware and wiring for Morse has been progressively 
removed.  And the personnel who knowledgeable in the art retire or are 
reassigned.  So be sure to listen for these stations.
**

Many USCG personnel at all levels are responsible for bringing these 
stations back on the air for Night of Nights 2104.  We want to 
particularly thank ET1 Mike Leska for taking the lead for this year's 
project.
