The 2nd Annual KWMR Golf Tournament was really a great time out at the San Geronimo Golf Course. It was a beautiful day on the green. 12 teams competed to be the top contenders for the trophy. The Stripes and Checks team took the first place prizes. Second place team was the Baskin Lyman team with players Larry Baskin, Ted Lyman, Chris Bright and Gabriel Hanneford. There was a tie for third place between the Holly Tree Inn team and Team Holy Moses.

While his team may have come in 12th place at the tournament, programmer Mike Varley (right) host of KWMR's Bakersfield and Beyond and Ridin' the Rails, got big style points and edged out Stripes and Checks for the best dressed player at the 2012 tournament.
And coming in by a huge lead as the most elderly player in the tournament, Al Ingram (89) received the prize from Rosemary Barry (below) from Sam's House. Al played on the East Bay Hackers team. Al is seen here in an embrace with Rosemary!

KWMR redeems 4 containers in one week!
This week was a banner week for the the West Marin Coastal Fund tokens at KWMR. Four different people came in and handed me the empty token containers! And this means that these folks shopped for $75 worth of local goods and services and KWMR received a $160 check. Once you buy your 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! 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
