Jack Martini "DM" sends a commemorative message. Jack was the last in a long line of KPH managers and had the sad duty of of closing the station on its final day. But in a gesture to the history of the station and the radio operators afloat Jack left the receivers at the Point Reyes receiving station turned on when he closed the door for what he thought was the last time, keeping a symbolic watch over the airwaves KPH had monitored for so long.

Warren Reese "TR" was a Morse operator at Point Reyes and the last transmitter technician at Bolinas. It was TR who turned the Bolinas transmitters off one by one as the circuits were taken over by the Globe Wireless master station at Half Moon Bay, CA.

Ex-KPH staffers Jack Martini, Denice Stoops, Ray Smith and Warren Reese are honored members of the MRHS who have provided their help and expertise in the ongoing work to preserve the station. It was their endorsement of the project as a whole that let us know we were on the right track.

Warren has created his own Web site with pictures and information about his days at the station. Check it out.
