"The annual MRHS Night of Nights will be held as usual on 12 July (13 July GMT). The opening message will be sent at 5:01pm Pacific time (0001 GMT) on all KPH frequencies. Transmissions will continue throughout the evening. K6KPH will also be active. Please click on MRHS Operations above for all KPH and K6KPH frequencies. Unfortunately Night of Nights is not a public event so we wish you good listening!"

"The Maritime Radio Historical Society (MRHS) was formed on 12 July 1999, the date of the supposed last commercial Morse transmission in the US. On that day Tom Horsfall and Richard Dillman resolved that the tradition of commercial maritime Morse could not be relegated to the dustbin of history. With that in mind they visited the KPH transmit and receive sites in Bolinas and Point Reyes - closed for two years. They were amazed to find not the vandalized sites they expected but instead an intact radio time capsule - with the receivers still on, maintaining a watch on the Morse calling channels. Their mission became instantly clear: they should form an organization to repair, restore and operate KPH as a way to honor the men and women who for 100 years had made the profession of radiotelegrapher one of honor and skill. All they had to do was convince the National Park Service since the station sites are part of the Point Reyes National Seashore. With trust and vision that are still amazing to think about, the Park Service gave these two radio squirrels, previously unknown to them, the go-ahead. Since then the MRHS has succeeded beyond what Tom and Richard thought possible in their wildest dreams. Not only has KPH returned to the air but so has KSM, KFS and K6KPH. This has been possible only through the efforts of the dozen or more volunteers who make up the MRHS and who feel honored to contribute to our mission."

"The MRHS is a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation. All donations to keep KPH on the air are therefore tax deductible. Our Tax ID Number (also known as an EIN) is 20-1122405"

"It once took a virtual army of managers, operators, riggers, transmitter engineers and clerical staff to keep KPH on the air. Now it’s up to the MRHS volunteers who often commute for hours to be at the station and do their part. It’s also up to the the True Believers who have made financial contributions over the years, contributions that we keep in careful reserve for major projects like antenna repair and transmitter restoration. Can you contribute to the cause? It’s easy. Just tap the link below. And thanks!"
