I thought I'd start this item so people could post about special
event stations they become aware of.

KPH and K6KPH will be on the air once again for Straight Key Night 
this New Year's Eve.

KPH will be active on MF on 500 and 426kc using about 5kW.  The 
transmitting antenna will be a Marconi T.   Announcements will be 
made on 500kc with most traffic - including weather and ARA Press 
being sent at 426kc.  We will of course maintain a watch on 500kc for 
calls from ships.

K6KPH will be active on the following frequencies:

3545kc
7050kc
14050kc

Power output will be 1.5kW on all frequencies.  Transmitting antennas 
will be double extended Zepps on 3.5 and 7Mc and a H over 2 on 14Mc.  
1950s vintage RCA transmitters will be used.

The operators will be at the receiving site in Pt. Reyes, CA (RS) 
where we hope to have several operating positions active.  A two man 
transmitter crew will be on duty at the transmitting site in Bolinas, 
CA (BL).  The transmitters will be remotely controlled from RS.

The exact hours of operation for K6KPH will be announced soon.  We 
usually keep KPH on the air past midnight Pacific time to give MF 
listeners the best chance to log the station.

QSLs and reception reports may be sent to:

Ms. DA Stoops
P.O. Box 381
Bolinas CA, 94924-0381
USA

No amateur equipment is employed at K6KPH.  Only the original KPH 
transmitters, receivers and antennas (and some of the operators!) are 
used.
