[HCDX] Another KPH test



>From the ARRL Letter Vol 20 No 20 dated 16 May.  Unfortunately, the test
will be from 1030 to 1500 local time, so propagation won't be very
favorable:

* "Wireless Giant of the Pacific" on the air again: Former RCA coast
station
KPH, Point Reyes, California, will attempt to contact the Liberty ship
SS
Jeremiah O'Brien, KXCH, on Sunday, May 20, between 1730 and 2200 UTC.
Initial contact on 500 kHz will shift to 426 kHz for KPH, and 425 kHz
for
KXCH. KPH may also transmit on 6477.5 kHz. KPH will broadcast
commemorative
messages and possibly a traffic list. The former KPH facilities are part
of
the Point Reyes National Seashore, which has a strong interest in the
important role the station played in the history of radio
communications.
The Marine Radio Historical Society Web site http://www.radiomarine.org
has
more information.--Dick Dillman, W6AWO
