KPH 500 Kc/s Operating Position and Receiver

RCA KPH Receiver Station, Pt. Reyes, CA, 8 March 2003. This position operated KPH's MF service; the keyboard was used to store and transmit the periodic "wheel" morse beacon. This facility, which housed the receivers and operating positions for KPH, the RCA high seas morse code and SITOR service, closed in 1997. The transmitters are in Bolinas (about 15 miles south). KPH is now maintained (and occasionally put back on the air) by the Marine Radio Historical Society. The site is largly as it was left when it was decommissioned in 1997.
