What do you think?  Do we need a new name for the KWMR newsletter? If you think we should change the name, let me know! If you like the current name, Round Up then speak your mind. If you have an idea for a new name for the newsletter - one that cries out KWMR - West Marin Community Radio, I want to hear from you. These cows had busted out, but were rounded up before they began surfing. Email amanda@kwmr.org with your ideas!

NIGHT OF NIGHTS XIII - SAVE THE DATE
Dick Flint of Inverness, former KPH operator, demonstrated his skills at a past Night of Nights.

12 July 1999 was a sad day for many of us.  We knew it was coming but when the end finally arrived is was a shock.  I was there.

It was the supposed last day of Morse code.  The final sign off took place at a remote station on the Pacific coast.  Women attending the event were dressed as if at a funeral.  Grizzled, hard bitten old men, the kind you wouldn't mess with in a bar room, had tears in their eyes as the last messages was keyed out to the world at 0000 gmt.  And then there was silence.  It was just beeps in the air.  But that's how much Morse code means to the men and women who made the profession of
radiotelegrapher one of honor and skill.

But the prediction of the death of Morse code was not to be fulfilled. On that day the Maritime Radio Historical Society was born.  On that day we began plans to restore our own West marin Morse code radio station - the famous KPH.  One year later we held the first "Night of Nights" when not only KPH but other coast stations appeared once again on the air.  Every year since we have commemorated that date by returning these stations to the air and thereby, we hope, honoring the men and women who came before us.

Join us this year for Night of Nights XIII.  See and hear a real Morse code coast station in full song.  Mingle with the pioneers who were the men and women of the airwaves.

When: 12 July 2012 - Doors open at 3:00pm, first transmission at 5:01pm (0001gmt)
Where: KPH receive station, 14700 Sir Francis Drake Blvd, past the oyster company and G Ranch
Information: info@radiomarine.com or 663-8982

Light snacks will be served.
