Beautiful West Marin Coast Fund Tokens
Coastal Marin Tokens
They are aesthetically pleasing to the eye and the touch. They support the local economy. They help raise funds for your favorite non-profit! The West Marin Coastal Fund is where you can find the whole skinny on these tokens. But really you just simply go in to a participating retailer that sells the coins and plunk down $75 for $75 worth of tokens. You then spend this $75 at any of the participating retailers (the list is long). Once you have an empty container you can bring it or send it to KWMR! We then receive $40 towards fulfilling our mission as a non-profit in West Marin. If you have questions about this, please ask. It's really almost too easy!

NIGHT OF NIGHTS 2012 - Long live Morse code!

On 12 July 2012 there was a solemn gathering at an isolated radio station on the Pacific coast.
The occasion was the transmission of what was thought to be the last commercial Morse code message
in North America.

Men and women who had made their living with a telegraph key attended.  Some were dressed as if for a funeral.  As the last message was send some very tough looking men had tears in their eyes.  At that moment the Maritime Radio Historical Society was founded with the goal of not letting professional Morse die away.  One year later we had West Marin's own Morse
code station, call letters KPH, back on the air as a way to honor those men and women who made the profession of radiotelegrapher one of honor and skill.  Every year since, in an event that came to be called the Night of Nights, we have picked up the thread and carried on with the tradition of professional Morse. 

You can join us for Night of Nights 2012 and see a real Morse code coast station in full operation.  Date: 12 July.  Time: Doors open at 3:00pm, transmissions start at
5:01pm (0001gmt).  Location: RCA receiving station, 17400 Sir Francis Drake Blvd, just past G ranch.  Cost: Free.  Information: 663-8982
