Morse radio station K6KPH/KSM in California, USA

- Station KPH was a world-renowned coastal radio station. It is now a working museum, under the coastal call KSM and amateur radio call K6KPH. Run by highly dedicated and talented operators it is keeping the sound of Morse Code alive on the airwaves. The transmitters are in Bolinas and the receive station is at Point Reyes, up the coast. I visited in September 2012 while on a business trip to California.
My original video had some background music and many visitors said that they would prefer to hear the Morse code. So I have re-cut it leaving the original CW sound in. Hope you like it.
In the video Roger G3LDI calls K6KPH on 20m (14 MHz) and asks if I am there. Roger lives about 5 miles away from my home in the UK. His 400W signal travelled across the globe from a 3el SteppIR Yagi at 110ft - a distance of more than 5,000 miles. - Наука та технологія
A user of Kph and Kps when a British merchant navy radio officer its good to know morse still exists at Point Reyes. I used these stations transmitting the Pacific over many years in my career. Good luck and may the museum thrive
Wonderful video. I have held a ham ticket (K0ZBA) since 1960. I grew up in Grand Island NE where there was a FCC monitoring station and quite a few of the personnel there were hams. They were my mentors. The one I best remember was Gus (W0CC). As you can tell by his call sign he went way back to the formative days of radio communications. Gus liked his booze and when he was on voice his default phonetics were Whisky Zero Canadian Club. Hi Hi. It has been proven time and time again that during natural disasters the only communication channel that can always get through is amateur radio, especially CW.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Can't believe it was eight years ago!
When All Else Fails.
Nice phonetics. Just hope his CW wasn't too slurred😁
Been QRT for 34 years.... the “bug” is biting again.... good morse and real tx/rx is unbeatable. There is something about this you never lose.... keep up the fantastic work. 73 fm EI land . Pete (ex 9KDH, HNLR etc)
Reminds me of my days with the Royal Netherlands Navy during the early 80's when I was a radio operator.
Love the plasma in the tubes.... I remember my first 10W transmitter whit a 6AQ5 as amplifier. Switching the lights off..
TREM DE DOÍDO! ESTE CARA MISTUROU RADIO COM TELEC,TELETIPO,MAQUINA DE ESCREVER,UMAS ANTENAS MALUCAS!!!😂
A museum of MORSE. This could come in handy someday if we loose our digital capabilities.
Absolutely mind blowing eye opener. Thanks for sharing.
So very cool! I suppose what goes around may some day again come around. Sadly by that time these fabulous folks who can send such beautiful code will likely be long gone.
very cool - thank you so much for sharing!!!
My ham call is K6PH. Every time I hear "K6KPH" in CW, no matter what I'm doing, I perk up.
T.k.s Merci ami a la pro vacation
Superb, and beautiful code !
Главное ребята , сердцем не стареть !
reminds me of my days with the Malaysian Navy during the early 80s when I was a radio operator
As a former U.S. Coast Guard Radarman who did Atlantic' 'ocean stations' I was always impressed to visit our radio shack aboard our ship. At that time mid to late 60's almost all messages went out via c.w. Was so interesting to see a Radioman sit at his typewriter listening and making sense of the rapid fire dots and dashes.
Coast guard rm 1974_78, Petaluma ca. Rm school. Coast guard radsta Miami nma 75-76, uscgc venturous 77-78, will always remember cw, love it, pt. Reyes, beautiful.
Wow! What an art!
Thanks a lot my all Radio officer
I would like to read all Morse in this clip, but it's a bit fast for me and I had to relisten several times. The background noise would be readable, but not at this speed for me. As a newcomer my upper limit is @17 wpm at the moment, here it is somewhere in the mid-20's, I estimate. I'm working on that, hard, but takes time. Maybe I'll later add the rest. It begins with:

wowwww that keyer was amazing i use to it for years as radio operator too haha...miss this kind of job but now i cant need pratice on morse code hahaha..
As a "Hog" (O5H) I really appreciate what you guys are doing at KSM. Keep it going.
Ah, a lightning fast chicken molester.... Me too.
remind me of my days....
Não há quem aguente tanto QSB!...
'Speed in making things, for speed in doing things--- for speed in getting from one place to another, for speed in collecting and distributing information.' This is possible on 4-September, 1837 when Morse successful experiment with telegraph. So, we know 'A telegraphic technology that would be more directly influence that the development of Computer.'
i love kph!!!!!!!! 73 from Argentina...Lu6edg "murdock"
Nice video, thankyou, ex WAX / WOM transmitter tech. Walt in Miami
👍👍👍👍👍
I’ve tried using a bug before, but I just can’t make it work! My hat is off to those ops who do use bugs. Personally, I love a good straight key, or….most often nowadays I use a Bencher paddle with an old AEA electronic keyer. Or, recently many rigs nowadays include the keyer internally. Like the K4D I used earlier today. For FD two weeks ago, I used an MFJ CW keyer, as well as an MFJ voice recorder/keyer.
my dad working at the rca in tanger radio morse seignore
Just worked k6kph yesterday (12 Dec 2015 0030Z approximately) on 7,050 khz. Their 599 mine 589 running ONE WATT with a NorCal 40A into an attic dipole up 15 feet. My QTH Fountain Valley, CA. (About 800 miles.)
Op, Larry, was very patient with me and my terrible fist. I am just getting back into hand sending code having used a CW keyboard for the past 4 years; a lot of rust to scrape off to be sure!

Nice going with one watt👍
I never knew ( as I'm sure many Americans didn't!!) this great place even existed !!!!! This is fan efffen tastic! !!!!!!! I'm sure that if more people knew about it interest would increase in Morse code and it wouldn't be a dying skill in this country!!!!!!! Seriously !!!! We need this skill to be brought back !!!!!!!!! Or do you guys want to keep it a secret ??? Hmmmm?????

What was the power of the station in the first decade ?
