But, as always, there's a catch. A strong storm took down trees, destroying a number of feedlines to antennas. The damage includes broken poles and snapped wires, and generally it's a mess. Repairs will take time and cost money. As usual, the MRHS could use any donations we feel like giving them.
From MRHS:
With the end of the partial shutdown of the federal government the Maritime Radio Historical Society has been given clearance to return to "The Wireless Giant of the Pacific," and to resume operations as of 2 February 2019 at 1800 GMT, with the return of the Free Press broadcast from KPH and KFS. We will commence service to ships at sea at 2000 GMT. Our station in the amateur radio service, K6KPH, will return to the airwaves at that time, 2000 GMT.---
The good news is that most of our ship customers will not be effected by the reduced operational capacity. The following commercial channels will be in service:
KPH: 426, 500, 8642, 12808.5, 17016.8 kc.KFS: 12695.5 kc.As always, KPH and KFS will maintain an effective watch on 500 kc, and guard all ITU HF Channel 3 frequencies, even the bands that were effected by the damage.The bad news is that K6KPH suffered the most damage.Until further notice K6KPH will be limited to: 3550 & 14050 kc.We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to our faithful customers, both maritime and amateur.
