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.

> NMC (Transmit Bolinas, Receive Pt. Reyes)

Frequency Transmitter Antenna

448.0 Nautel ND2500TT/6 173' monopole tower

NOTE regarding NMC/NMQ/NMW MF transmissions. Only one MF transmitter will
be in service at each station. Morse transmissions will be made on an
as-available basis from each station as USCG operators must also
accommodate scheduled NAVTEX transmissions.
