NIGHT OF NIGHTS ON CW ON NOW
MARINE COAST STATIONS ON MARINE BANDS..AND COAST GUARD
MRHS Stations
Sixteen transmitters will be on the air from the MRHS transmitter site in Bolinas. That doesn't include transmitters held in ready reserve in case of failure. Members of the crack MRHS Transmitter Department and the H Set Team will be on hand to assure that all goes well.

Reception reports and verification requests for the MRHS stations listed above may be sent to:

The receive site may be contacted by phone on 415-669-9646
USCG Stations
NOTICE!
This may very well be the last time ever that USCG stations can be heard on the air using A1A (Morse) emission. As new equipment is installed the hardware and wiring for Morse has been progressively removed. And the personnel who knowledgeable in the art retire or are reassigned. So be sure to listen for these stations.
Many USCG personnel at all levels are responsible for bringing these stations back on the air for Night of Nights 2104. We want to particularly thank ET1 Mike Leska for taking the lead for this year's project.
