I thought some listeners to the Night of Nights VI transmissions might like to see some photos of KPH and KSM in action.  So I've posted some of my personal pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Position 2, the guest position.  Note the double thick base on the Vibroplex, a donation of a former station operator:

Denice, in eyeshade and sleeve garters, sends a message from position 2:

Denice uses the key phone at position 1.  This is an original KPH phone (we have a photo of Denice using it when she was employed at KPH).  A 2A key system was installed to run it (note that the button light is lit):

One of two 1940s vintage Press Wireless PW-15 transmitters at Bolinas.  This one is holding forth on the KSM 12Mc frequency:
