12 July every year. The first transmission will be at 0501pm Pacific time (0000 UTC 13 July).
As most True Believers probably know by now, the Point Reyes National Seashore has closed the park and suspended all volunteer activities until further notice. Since we at the MRHS are all park volunteers, that includes us. Thus KPH, KFS and K6KPH will be off the air "for the duration".
We will
not be able to transmit on our usual KPH commercial frequencies.
However we are working hard (testing underway as I write) to remote key
two full power amateur transmitters on 3550kc and 7050kc under the call
W6AWO (the K6KPH call is restricted to use by transmitters actually at
the Bolinas transmit site).
The transmitters are at Valley Springs,
California and the control point is at Inverness, California. Test
transmissions from these transmitters should begin shortly. On Night of
Nights the traditional opening message will be sent by these
transmitters after which W6AWO and other MRHS member stations will stand
by for calls. Live keying (as opposed to sending a file like the
opening message) may be a little stilted due to the way the control
software works. Speed will be 15wpm.
