The KPH Project

In cooperation with the Point Reyes National Seashore, 
part of the National Park Service, 
the Maritime Radio Historical Society (MRHS) 
has taken on the job of preserving the historic 
ex-RCA coast station KPH and returning it to the air.

To all of you nice MRHS people:

I hope you know how much your bringing back the sound 
of old KPH to those few of us who are still around from 
the 1930s Sparks ship days and how much it means to us.  

I worked KPH almost every day on six trips around the world 
and for a dozen or so trips over to Manila and back to SF, 
plus a few others trips...  

I even had the pleasure of seeing old Marshall and Bolinas 
in operation in 1932 when only a ham (althouh already with a 
Radiotelegraph Second license) at Central Trade School with 
old Fred Mangelsdorf and most of his class.   

While KTK was my home station for four of my six years. I 
almost daily received passenger messages from KPH and KFS 
and would also send them our TR reports.  

KPH was one of the first and last stations I worked from shipboard. 

That was from 1933 to 1939.   Real fond memories! 

Thanks.
