KPH Receive Station
Point Reyes, CA
8 August 2022
KPH, with transmitters in Bolinas, CA and receivers in Point Reyes, was the chief mainland pacific coastal station for RCA's (later Globe Wireless') marine radiotelegraph service. It sent and received telegrams and safety messages to and from ships on the high seas via morse code. It ceased commercial operations in 1997, the service having been made largely obsolete by satellites and other technologies. The station is currently operated as a living historical artifact by the Marine Radio Historical Society (www.radiomarine.org).
This is the receive station building, adjacent to the Point Reyes antenna farm, and is where the telegraph operators worked. The building now belongs to the National Parks Service, and is entrusted to the MRHS operators.
