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.
