KSM - KSM is the coast station of the MRHS. The station is licensed for communications
with ships at sea using both CW and RTTY modes in the MF and HF marine bands. KSM accepts
traffic from ships at sea for onward transmission to addressees ashore. No charge
is made for this service. The purpose of the station is to preserve skills, customs,
traditions and procedures of the stations and operators who came before us and made
the profession of maritime radiotelegrapher one of honor and skill.
