Maritime Radio Historical Society (MRHS) members have been unable to access the KPH transmit and receive sites due to COVID-19 restrictions. In order to return commercial CC to the air we obtained a Special Temporary Authority (STA) to use an alternate transmit site in Valley Springs, California for station KSM (we were unable to do this for KPH because we don't own the license).

Although we are using KSM frequencies the call sign associated with the STA is WRJG440.

The frequencies for this transmission are 8438.3  and 12993.0 khz. Transmission speed will be 20 WPM.

Your reports would be greatly appreciated. Remember, please send them to ksm@radiomarine.org.  Thanks and good listening.....
