KSM COAST STATION THAT CURRENTLY TRANSMITS CW ON WEEKENDS
KSM is a coast station in the grand tradition of KPH and the dozens of other such stations that once existed in the USA. MRHS (Maritime Radio Historical Society) felt it needed its own coast station to carry on the traditions and preserve the skills of the art of maritime radio through actual use. KSM uses the original transmitters, receivers and antennas of KPH. The station is licensed for communications with ships at sea using both CW and RTTY modes in the MF and HF marine bands. Many of the volunteers at KSM are Amateur Radio Operators with valid licences.
ECHOLINK VOIP AMATEUR RADIO SYSTEM
For Amateur Radio Operators that do not have a current antenna or are travelling: EchoLink is a computer-based Amateur Radio system that allows radio amateurs to communicate with other amateur radio operators using Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) technology. A current Amateur Radio licence is required for the validation process.
Note: There are other VOIP Amateur Radio computer based systems that can be found by searching the internet.
