RD is a great guy himself and he has put a huge number of hours into keeping KPH alive and on the air whenever possible.
The KPH site is a true bit of history, and if you're in the San Francisco Bay Area for the event, do stop in and bring you key if so inclined to join in the fun!

International Marconi Day (IMD), sponsored by the Cornish Amateur Radio Club, is a 24-hour amateur radio event held annually to celebrate the birth of Guglielmo Marconi on the 25th April 1874. IMD is usually held on the Saturday closest to Marconi's birthday, when amateur radio stations are operated from original historic sites around the world. Stations may apply to the Cornish Amateur Radio Club for awards for contacting these stations. With transmitters at the site established in Bolinas, CA by the American Marconi Company in 1913, K6KPH has a direct connection to the great inventor. K6KPH will begin IMD operations at 5:00pm pdt (0000gmt) on Saturday, 26 April. Transmitting frequencies will be 3550.0, 7050.0 and 14050.0kc. All transmissions will of course be in Morse code. The public is invited to visit K6KPH to observe the station in action. Qualified Morse operators wishing to operate K6KPH are invited to bring their keys and headphones. No amateur license is required. Those intending to visit should reply to this message for detailed information and directions.
