NEWINGTON, CT, Jun 21, 2004--Correctly copying the W1AW Field Day message is an easy way to earn bonus points for Field Day 2004, Saturday and Sunday, June 26-27. For the first time, the Maritime Radio Historical Society's K6KPH will transmit the Field Day message for the benefit of West Coast stations on 3581.5, 7047.5, 14,047.5 and 21,067.5 kHz, CW only. K6KPH will transmit the 2004 Field Day message Saturday, June 26, at 1430 UTC, and Sunday, June 27, at 0030 and 1430 UTC.

The K6KPH club station in California is comprised of past operators of the former commercial shore station KPH, now maintained--and occasionally operated--as a historical site, with receiving station in Pt Reyes and transmitters in Bolinas. The transmitters can be remotely controlled from the receiving site.

Additional information about K6KPH and the KPH station restoration project are on the Maritime Radio Historical Society Web site.
