I don't think they use KSM any longer. Both KPH and KFS are active and
assigned to Global HFnet LLC, and I think the museum society worked out
some deal for perpetual usage of the calls and working frequencies by
the museum site. At least that's what RD told me. KSM is still active
in ULS assigned to MRHS. KPH also sends it's wheel on several HF
working frequencies.
Prior to starting manned operations from Pt. Reyes each Sat, they have
KFS on 426 Kc [I think] for an hour or so of 25 WPM "Free Press" at 5 KW
sent from the Bolinas TX site. Excellent source of CW practice if you
can hear it. Years ago, I practiced by listening to KOK in Los Angeles
which was only 10 miles or so from home and very strong.

Check out <www.radiomarine.org> for the schedule of operations of KPH /
KFS / KSM Morse press and traffic transmissions every Saturday.
