The annual Maritime Radio Historical Society "Night of Nights" event is less 
than one month away.

This will be the tenth annual Night of Nights!

Every year on 12 July (US time) many famous coast stations return to the air 
to commemorate what was then thought to be the last commercial Morse 
stations in the USA.

Since then MRHS coast station KSM has taken to the air and three other 
commercial coast stations have received licenses for operation in the MF 
band (KNE, KDR and WFT).  Historic ships have reactivated their radio 
consoles and are active on MF and HF.

The purpose of Night of Nights is to emphasize the objective of the MRHS: to 
preserve the skills, traditions and culture of the men and women who came 
before us and who made the profession of radiotelegrapher one of honor and 
skill.

This year stations KPH, and KSM will be on the air.  We anticipate that KFS 
will be on the air as well.  We hope that US Coast Guard stations NMC, NOJ 
and NMN will join us as they did last year.

Amateur station K6KPH will guard 3550, 7050 and 14050kc for reception 
reports.

Preliminary information has been posted on the MRHS Web site:

Check back often for updated information as it becomes available.
