Marine Radio Historical Society News

This just in from Richard Dillman of the MRHS

The Maritime Radio Historical Society (MRHS) is pleased to advise that a
system of SDRs has been installed at the KPH (and former RCA point to
point) receive site overlooking the Pacific at Point Reyes, California.

Kiwi SDRs are employed.  The receivers are separated into two frequency
bands.

The LF/MF receivers use a large Marconi T antenna.  The HF receivers employ
a TCI-530 <http://www.ic72.com/pdf_file/5/513798.pdf> antenna. We plan to
add a TCI-540

antenna in the near future.

The Point Reyes site enjoys a very low noise level making it ideal for
reception across the radio spectrum.

These receivers are available for public use.  Please give them a try.

Links to the receivers may be found on the MRHS website at:
