From Mike Terry at World of Radio, and undoubtedly mentioned on other reflectors too...notice that there are both ham and utility freqs here, and they are a good verifier, if a bit slow...
The event marks the day in 1999 when commercial maritime radiotelegraphy formally ended, and is normally held every July 12. However, there may be some uncertainty this year for safety reasons. Chief Operator Richard Dillman announced on June 30 that the station would not be operating for its usual Saturday transmissions that day because of extreme fire danger.
We'll have word on schedules and other planned participants on this page in a few days. Frequencies for KPH: 426, 500, 4247.0, 6477.5, 8642.0, 12808.5, 17016.8, 22447.5; KFS: 12695.5; K6KPH: 3550.0, 7050.0. 14050.0, 18097.5, 21050.0 kHz.
