    K6KPH ON THE AIR FOR INTERNATIONAL MARCONI DAY

The Maritime Radio Historical Society is pleased to announce that 
K6KPH will be on the air on 23 April 2005 to participate in the 
annual International Marconi Day commemorative event.    

International Marconi Day takes place each year on a weekend close to 
the birthday of the great radio pioneer Guglielmo Marconi.  The event 
is organized by the Cornish Amateur Radio Club which offers awards to 
stations in various classes.   For details, see their Web site at:

http://www.gb4imd.co.uk/

K6KPH uses the original transmitters, receivers and antennas of 
famous ex-RCA coast station KPH.  The transmitters are located at the 
transmitting station founded by the American Marconi Co. in 1913 at 
Bolinas, CA.  The receivers and operators will be at the KPH 
receiving station about 20 miles north at Pt. Reyes, CA.     

K6KPH transmitting frequencies will be 7050, 14050, 18097.5 and 
21050kc.  3545kc may also be activated if conditions warrant.

The primary transmitters will be 1950s vintage RCA "L" sets with more 
modern  Henry 5000D-HF transmitters acting as backup.  Power output 
will be 1.5kW on all frequencies.  Antennas are a double extended 
Zepps on 3.5 and 7Mc, H over 2s on 14, 18 and 21Mc.    

K6KPH will begin operations on 23 April at 1700GMT  (1000PDT).  

The actual International Marconi Day event runs from From 0000GMT to 
2359GMT, 23 April 2005.

Commercial practices and procedures will be used as much as possible 
to give amateurs the experience of working a real coast station.  
Messages will be on hand in the message rack for those stations that 
inquire QRU? during their contact.  If several stations are calling, 
QRY may be used.  All operators will be commercially licensed.  Ex 
KPH, KFS and and NMC ops may be at the key, depending on their 
schedules.     

K6KPH QSLs and reception reports may be sent to:

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

Special Note: KPH will be on the air on its original commercial 
frequencies for the sixth annual "Night of Nights" on 12 July 2005, 
the anniversary of the last commercial Morse message in America.  

KPH and K6KPH are operated by the Maritime Radio Historical Society 
in cooperation with the Point Reyes National Seashore,  part of the 
US National Park Service.  Please visit our Web site at the URL below
