The ops at KPH/KSM are all either former station ops from there or
experienced shipboard radio operators, all holding Radiotelegraph
Operator Second or First Class Certificates. The "wheel" (VVV
tapes) will of course be used until traffic is to be passed.

If and when they switch to K6KPH on the ham bands (using drastically-
lowered transmitter power - 1.5 KW rather than the 15 KW that those
transmitters were built to deliver) the ops - same guys and ladies -
will be those who also hold FCC Radio Amateur licenses.

They will have no problem with sending clean Morse.

The whole thing sounds awfully stupid to me and a waste of
good time. These people need to get a life.
