<div style="font-size:12pt;text-align:left;" align="left">It was a cool, misty day at Bolinas as the staff and visitors assembled for another day of operations of the "Wireless Giant of the Pacific." While the members of the Transmitter Department prepared for the beginning of the Free Press (PX) broadcast at 1700 GMT, the members of the Operations Department prepared for "Services" -- our weekly fraternal and staff meeting. </div>
<div style="font-size:12pt;text-align:left;" align="left"><br/></div>
<div style="font-size:12pt;text-align:left;" align="left">The sound level at Bolinas on Saturday morning goes from dead quiet to a bit loud over time as transmitters are powered-up, with the sounds of blowers providing a steady hum, interjected with voices coming in over the mobile radio system we use to coordinate our activities, and the sound of the "tick" from time signal station WWV or perhaps the marker signal from our Korean "competitor" -- Morse coast station SEOUL RADIO/HLG. But on this Saturday the usual "music" was disturbed by the sound of an alarm from the lower level of the transmitter gallery. In short order, Transmitter Supervisor Steve Hawes/SH came to the aid of the World War Two vintage PW-15 transmitter, which is used to provide the KFS 12 mc service. Steve later reported that the tuning on the PW-15 can be a bit touchy, at times. Eventually, he wrangled it to submission, and the classic set operated nominally for the rest of the day.</div>
<div style="font-size:12pt;text-align:left;" align="left"><br/></div>
<div style="font-size:12pt;text-align:left;" align="left">During the ride up to Point Reyes, the mist became rain ... RAIN! A welcome sight. Readers may be aware that California suffers, especially at this time of the year, from overly dry conditions that are conducive for wild fires. The arrival of an early rain is most welcome! </div>
<div style="font-size:12pt;text-align:left;" align="left"><br/></div>
<div style="font-size:12pt;text-align:left;" align="left">The Operations Department arrived at the receive site (RS) on Point Reyes at 1830 GMT, and were "welcomed" by the news that the water pump had failed (we rely on well water at RS) and that there was no water service in the building. A not infrequent occurrence.</div>
<div style="font-size:12pt;text-align:left;" align="left"><br/></div>
<div style="font-size:12pt;text-align:left;" align="left">Preparations were underway to prepare to operate the station from RS. Precisely on the published, at 1900 GMT, control of the station was handed over to RS. The marker signal was sent to al the High Frequency transmitters, and we were off for another day of operations.</div>
<div style="font-size:12pt;text-align:left;" align="left"><br/></div>
<div style="font-size:12pt;text-align:left;" align="left">On this Saturday, former US Navy and US Coast Guard Radioman Mike Payne/MP was at the helm at Position One. He had not gotten himself settled in the chair when the quiet noise of the calling channels was broken by a very strong signal .... <a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline;" track="on" shape="rect" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=9zfajv6ab.0.cnc7un6ab.6e997tjab.0&r=3&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.americanvictory.org" linktype="1" alt="http://www.americanvictory.org" target="_blank">SS AMERICAN VICTORY/KKUI </a>in Tampa, Florida calling KFS. Once contact was established, the operator at KKUI (former MOBILE RADIO/WLO operator Dean Sever) sent "QTC 5" -- "I have five radiograms for you"! MP would have his work cut out for him! </div>
<div style="font-size:12pt;text-align:left;" align="left"><br/></div>
<div style="font-size:12pt;text-align:left;" align="left">As we observed at RS, KKUI seemed to be having some keying problems. Dean later emailed to explain that he had left his own telegraph key at home and was relying on the key on the ship ... which promptly decided to fall apart! Eventually he was able to put it back into service, and all five radiograms were received. Some were relays to other vessels, so they were typed up and filed in the traffic rack. Some of the radiograms were for delivery, so they were typed onto our special radiogram PDF form, and delivered via email. KFS was holding two radiograms for KKUI, and these were handled expeditiously. KKUI was the only ship worked on this Saturday.</div>
<div style="font-size:12pt;text-align:left;" align="left"><br/></div>
<div style="font-size:12pt;text-align:left;" align="left">With MP at Position One, we were fortunate to have our own Kevin McGrath/KM sitting the circuit at K6KPH, assisting regular op Wally Pugh/WP. The day at K6KPH was interrupted by the quarterly broadcast of the Code Proficiency Qualifying Run on behalf of the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the national association of radio amateurs in the United States. This broadcast began at 2100 GMT, and ran for about one hour. During these Qualifying Runs, K6KPH sends about five minutes of text at various speeds -- this time, from 10 words-per-minute to 40 words-per-minute. Listeners who can copy a solid minute of any speed can submit their copy to the ARRL and receive a certificate acknowledging their achievement. The MRHS is happy to provide this service to the amateur radio community.</div>
<div style="font-size:12pt;text-align:left;" align="left"><br/></div>
<div style="font-size:12pt;text-align:left;" align="left">Despite the loss of one hour of operations, KM and WP made thirty-four contacts with amateur radio operators around the world. We were most happy to make contact with our good friend Jeremy Maris, G3XDK of Brighton, England. However, on this day Jeremy was operating portable in the Canary Islands! We hope Jeremy is enjoying his holiday! We also worked another good friend of the MRHS, Bert Banlier, F6HKA near Limoges, France! Europe and Africa are tough paths for K6KPH, so we were very pleased to make contacts with these two DX "True Believers"! </div>

<div style="font-size:12pt;text-align:left;" align="left">Beginning in 1904, the Cunard Line commissioned a set of three express liners to provide a weekly service between Liverpool and New York: RMS LUSITANIA, RMS MAURITANIA, and RMS AQUITAINIA. As we all know, LUSITANIA was sunk by a German U-Boat in 1915. RMS MAURITANIA /GLRX was the fastest of the three sisters, and she enjoyed a long service life, serving as a troop ship during the Great War, and then back in passenger service until 1934. She was withdrawn from the North Atlantic run for the 1930 season, due to reduced passenger numbers because of the Great Depression and newer ships having entered service. But for almost twenty years, she held the "Blue Riband" -- the symbolic award for the fastest ship on the transatlantic run.</div>

Earlier, RD had received an email request from Peter's wife, Michelle, to set up a special tour for Peter to celebrate his 71st birthday. What a thoughtful wife, no?!?!?!</div>

<div style="font-size:12pt;text-align:left;" align="left"><b>Notes on the R-3 Acquisition & Restoration: A Mystery </b></div>
<div style="font-size:12pt;text-align:left;" align="left">
<div><span size="3">Last week, in this space, Steve Pazar, who led the project to restore the RCA R-3 point-to-point receivers wondered what ever happened to the original receivers used at Point Reyes when this service moved to that location in 1930. </span></div>
<div><span size="3"><br/></span></div>
<div><span size="3">We know what models they were: RCA RCP and RBP triple-diversity receivers. We also know that when RCA installed new equipment, the old equipment was often scrapped or given away (we have acquired some original RCA equipment because the staff took old equipment home with them when the new equipment came on the scene -- these were saved and eventually donated to MRHS). The R-3 receivers are dual-diversity. That means that each receiver (and there was one receiver dedicated to each point-to-point circuit) was connected to two antennas. </span></div>
<div><span size="3"><br/></span></div>
<div><span size="3">

</span></div>
<div><span size="3">The receiver was designed to get around the problem of fading and to provide the best usable signal by selecting the best received signal between the two signals received. Triple diversity means that each receiver was attached to THREE antennas -- each one aimed at a particular city served directly by the RCA service. It is no wonder that the antenna fields on the approximately 1000 acre property at Point Reyes were filled with antennas during the years of the point-to-point service.</span></div>
<div><span size="3"><br/></span></div>
<div><span size="3">So what happened to those first-generation High Frequency receivers at Point Reyes? They probably suffered the fate of most of the equipment from that era -- scrapped. </span></div>

<br/><div>Some readers took the bait last week and emailed to inquire why the LED indicating that the 500 kc channel was selected (versus the 426 kc working channel) was RED, and not GREEN ... We can't say, for sure, but we can offer two possibilities. </div><br/><div>There are two main explanations: one operational, one technical.</div><br/><div>Operationally, it is very important for the coast station operator to know which MF channel the station is configured to transmit on. As you might be aware, 500 kc was the Calling and Distress Channel -- it was used by ship stations only for those two purposes (calling other stations and sending distress calls). When a ship station called a coast station, or another ship station, once the contact was established they would move to a working channel, freeing up the 500 kc calling channel. Coast stations used 500 kc to call ship stations and to announce broadcasts that would be made momentarily on their working channel. So, today, KPH announces on 500 kc that the Traffic List, Weather (WX), and press (PX) broadcasts are about to begin on the 426 kc working channel. However, transmissions were prohibited by international law on the 500 kc channel during the Silent Periods (more on this next week!), between 15 and 18 minutes after each hour, and between 45 and 48 minutes past each hour. During the Silent Period ALL stations -- coastal and ship -- were required to keep a close guard on 500 kc, listening for weak ship stations that may be in distress. Hence, the operator at Position One would want to be warned that the MF transmitter was tuned to the 500 kc Calling and Distress channel, to avoid the embarrassment of transmitting accidentally during the Silent Period.</div><br/><div>There is also a technical reason at KPH. As was mentioned previously, the Medum Frequency transmitter is the only set that is effectively frequency agile, between 500 kc and the 426 kc working frequency. When the "ZAL" switch is in the 426 kc position, the MF set on the first floor of BL is tuned to 426 kc. Likewise, when the switch is set to the 500 kc position -- the set is tuned to 500 kc. The switch is usually left in the 426 kc position (which is indicated by a GREEN LED) -- which sends a SPACE audio tone down the telephone line to Bolinas. When the switch is moved to the 500 kc position, a MARK tone is sent down the telephone line, which sets the transmitter to 500 kc. But when the switch is moved to the 500 kc position, and the MARK tone is sent down the telephone line, there is one additional action that is performed. </div><br/><div>At the base of the MF Marconi T transmitting antenna there is a small building -- called Building 42. </div><br/><div>
<table class="OneColumnMobile" width="536" data-padding-converted="true" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td style="padding:0px;" width="100%" rowspan="1" colspan="1">

Center pole of the transmitting MF Marconi T antenna, and Building 42, at BL.<br/><br/></div><div style="font-size:12pt;"> In this building there is equipment to tune the antenna to the two channels: 426 kc and 500 kc. When the MARK tone is sent down the telephone line from RS (caused when the operator at Position One moved the ZAL switch into the 500 kc position) that also sends a signal to Building 42 to energize and actuate relays that switch in the tuning settings for the antenna for 500 kc. When the switch is placed in the 426 kc position, the SPACE tone is sent down the telephone line, which de-energizes and releases the relays in Building 42, putting the antenna tuner back into the configuration for operation on 426 kc.</div><br/><div>This arrangement, where 426 kc is the default, and 500 kc is exceptional (Indicated by the RED LED) makes perfect sense, since the MF transmitter did most of its transmitting on 426 kc (and NOT on 500 kc). This arrangement saves wear and tear on the relay switching gear in Building 42. Because of this arrangement it is very important that the operator at Position One NOT throw the ZAL switch WHILE the transmitter is being keyed ("hot-switching"), as it can cause serious damage to the equipment in Building 42.</div><br/><div>Next week (finally!) we will turn to consider a typical operational day at KPH. In order to prepare for that, you might want to take a look at an actual log sheet from the last days at KPH in 1997, to see what was going on, and to see if you can decode the entries!

<div style="text-align:left;" align="left">Acquiring an RCA R-3 point-to-point receiver was once a dream for the MRHS, and now it is a reality! Dreams can come true, but when they come true it is usually because of diligence and hard work. As the MRHS approaches it's 20th anniversary we continue to dream. We are grateful for True Believers like you who help to make dreams come true!</div>
