Transmitter Engineer Steve Hawes and I are testing all transmitters today in preparation for Night of Nights VIII. Virtually every transmitter and certainly every antenna will be in use. We are short of antennas so KSM will be (and is now) on 6474.0 and 12993.0 only. Priority is being given to KPH which is on 4247.0, 6477.5 8642.0, 12808.5, 17016.8 and 22477.5. KFS is on 12695.5 and 17025.0. We are about to shut down so by the time this reaches many we will be off thew air for today. But please check http://www.radiomarine.org for all the Night of Nights VIII information including the frequencies of the other stations we hope will be joining us.
