One never knows. Almost 40 years ago I was an observer TDY at a major USN Communication Station when one of the periodical drills required suspension of satellite circuits and reversion to HF message transmissions for a day. It worked. I do know that the USCG had stopped Morse coverage many years ago, but until this year, their COMSPAC station (NMC) staffed by retired "Coasties" who were Morse operators "back then" would "go Morse" on several MF and HF channels for the "Night of Nights" event held by the Maritime Radio Historical Society. AFAIK this year would be the last one because the transmitter that was configured for that event was being replaced by one required other duties. ---- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 >From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
