It's hard to believe that it's only been five years since all this went extinct. Even as recently as 15 years ago there was substantial maritime Morse activity. I used to keep a Kenwood R-600 on 500 kHz at my bedside at night. I miss hearing the Winter night-time MF Morse activity that here in the eastern U.S. could come from anywhere between the Great Lakes to the Carribean. Often the signals were A2/MCW, not A1/CW. Unfortunately, it's unlikely we'll be able to hear KPH in Alabama, but I'll try. 73, Mike / KK5F _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
