That's quite an operation that MRHS runs, and it's all-volunteer.
It's great to see the preservation effort, unlike VOA stations that are
being left to whatever.
If you ever get a chance to visit, MRHS holds operations most Saturdays,
and a chance to visit Point Reyes National Seashore makes it even better.
Licensed amateurs can operate K6KPH on 7.050 and 14.050 MHz as guests,
and they recently got operations going on 17m. The crew there are most
hospitable.
We were there last summer, on July 12th, for the "Night of Nights"
event. This is the date that commercial marine radio traffic ceased
using CW.
Richard Dillman and some of his crew were at Pacificon both last year
and this year, with a remote operation that keyed the transmitters at
Bolinas Bay from the hotel.
He gave quite an interesting presentation last year, but for some reason
was turned down this year.
They are selling T-shirts through Zazzle to generate operating funds.
Donations are also welcome, as they have a rhombic antenna that needs
some work.

KSM on 426Kc on Saturdays is usually around S8 during the day.
That's a very interesting operation, ham/commercial operator led and
fully described at:

I miss MF maritime Morse more than any other radio service, and I regret
dropping my commercial radiotelegraph ticket 20 years ago.
