KSM will be on the air this coming weekend, October 8 and 9.
KSM, the coast station of the Maritime Radio Historical Society, has recently been operating on Saturdays, running a wheel and soliciting traffic from ships. Our best customer so far has been SS Matsonia/KHRC on the San Francisco - Honolulu run. RO Reese Jones has been filing his AMVERs and personal messages via KSM. We have several messages on the hook for him.
This weekend SS Jeremiah O'Brien/KXCH will be participating on the annual Fleet Week on San Francisco Bay. We will be listening for calls from them on 500kc. At the time of writing the exact start time for transmissions from KSM have not been decided but we hope to be QRV around 1000pdt/1700Z
The KSM transmitting frequencies are:
500kc
426kc
6474kc
12993kc
KSM will listen for calls from ships on:
500kc
6276kc
12552kc
Contact is typically made on one of these calling frequencies. The ship operator then advises his working frequency (usually just the last three digits) and the shore station acknowledges with "up". The shore station always remains on its assigned transmitting frequency.
KSM reception reports may be sent to:
Ms. DA Stoops
P.O. Box 381
Bolinas CA, 94924-0381
USA
Denice has a particularly nice verification in the form of a historic Globe Wireless radiogram (the call KSM was assigned to a Globe station in the distant past) to send to those submitting a written report.
K6KPH will listen for calls from amateur stations on 7050kc.
