HISTORIC MORSE CODE RADIO STATION RETURNS TO THE AIR 
Former RCA Station KPH Celebrates Its 100th Anniversary 
COAST STATION KSM WILL MAKE ITS INAGURAL TRANSMISSION 
COAST STATIONS WLO, KLB, NMC AND NOJ TO BE ON THE AIR 

In the sixth annual event that has become known as the "Night of Nights",
historic Morse code radio station KPH will return to the air in commemoration
of the last commercial Morse message sent in the United States. This year's
Night of Nights is special: it's the 100th anniversary of KPH, KSM will appear
on the air for the first time and four other US coast stations will be on the
air, several of them on MF in addition to HF. Frequencies and reception report
information for all stations appear below. KPH, the ex-RCA coast station
located north of San Francisco, will return to the air for commemorative
broadcasts on 12 July at 1701 PDT (13 July at 0001 GMT), 6 years and one minute
after the last commercial Morse transmission in the US. These on-the-air events
are intended to honor the men and women who followed the radiotelegraph trade
on ships and at coast stations around the world and made it one of honor and
skill. Transmissions are expected to continue until at least midnight PDT (0700
GMT). . . .
