There was a time when
the airways bristled with Morse Code. There were commercial radio
stations all around the world whose business was sending and
receiving Morse Code messages to ships at sea. Coast station KPH,
located at Point Reyes National Seashore near San Francisco, is one
of those stations. Richard Dillman was there in 1997 when KPH sent
it’s last message and closed it’s doors. It was the end of the line
for the men and women who had spent their careers sending Morse
Code to ships at sea. There was nowhere else for them to go…
Two years later, Richard
Dillman with a group of volunteers returned to KPH and put it back
on the air. Listen as Richard tells us about the future of Maritime
Morse Code Coastal Station KPH!
