Other / MARITIME RADIO HISTORICAL SOCIETY Night of Nights XXIV

« on: July 13, 2023, 0116 UTC »

Since 2000 the MRHS has held an annual event called Night of Nights on 12 July. Why that date? Because on 12 July 1999 what was thought to be the last commercial Morse message in the US was sent. But on that date the founders of the MRHS established our organization with the specific goal of returning coast station KPH to the air as a means to honor the men and women who made the profession of radiotelegrapher one of honor and skill.

That last message was sent at 0000Z. One year later at 0001Z we were back on the air from the original Marconi/RCA transmit site in Bolinas, CA. This tradition has been observed every year since then.

Stations KPH, KFS and K6KPH will be on the air according to the schedule below. Please listen for us.

 When: Opening transmission - 1701pdt12 July, 0001gmt 13 July

North American Shortwave Pirate / UNID 6950 USB 0028 UTC 10 JULY 2023

« on: July 10, 2023, 0028 UTC »

Some type of interval signal. Sounds like a flute.
A couple of grunt like "comments", nothing heard after 0030.

Can you play scales of a flute?
After listening to the recording the grunts turned out to be "yeah" twice and then a two word statement (unintelligible) and that was that.

From a post from Reynard the Fox: "      Oh you naughty boys.  Tsk Tsk.  Ya gotta stay to the end to get the true ID.  This was a parody production from THE FOX, in conjunction with Sick Puppy Productions.     At least one of you guys caught the "ProteinMail" address.  I know we're all gettin' a little long in the tooth..... maybe its time for some auditory assistance.  Any idea of the "secret topic"?  Hmmmm... on Memorial Day... the unofficial first day of... SUMMER.!~!~!  Good listening.  Reynard"

Thanks for the broadcast, I missed the "ProteinMail" address".
