Subject: [Radiomarine] New US CW Coast Station!

The FCC has granted a license for a new, common carrier, class 1A CW
coast station to the Maritime Radio Historical Society (MRHS), the group
that brought ex-RCA coast station KPH back to life.

The MRHS applied for the license to assure that US commercial Morse
operations will continue into the future. We believe this must be the
first time in many years that the FCC has granted a new license for this
service.

The hours of operation for the station have not yet been determined.
But the basic details are:

Call: KSM

Frequencies: 426, 500, 6474 and 12993kc

Power: 5kW all frequencies

Fein! Ich erinnere mich noch gerne, wie ich KPH - auf allen Frequenzen - als
Westcoast-Indikator genutzt habe. Besonders interessant waren dabei die
Laufzeitenmessungen beim Wechsel zwischen short und long path und die
überraschend ausgedehnte Hörzeit der 4-MHz-Frequenz.
Übrigens bestätigte die Station schon immer - meine 1. QSL Karte von denen
datiert vom 23.9.1971. Da galt das "Abhören" solcher "Utility-Sendungen"
hierzulande noch als verboten...
