I didn't see any postings for the upcoming Night of Nights from coastal
stations KFH and KFS. I was not home until a few minutes ago, and quickly
tuned in, as they are broadcasting until local midnight, I think. So far,
the following frequencies are being heard in CW:
KFH: 12808.5 (best of all, and strong into Masset).
8642.0, 17016.8, and 6477.5 all audible, but not as strong.
not heard: 426, 500, 4247 and 22477.5 kHz.
None of the listed RTTY frequencies heard, so suspect not on the air
tonight:
12585.5, 8427, and 6324.5
KFS: 12695.5 CW Very strong.
A sample from KFH at 14 wpm:

KFS broadcasts different programming. An example;
CQ CQ DE KFS KFS KFS B QSX 12 PLEASE ANSWER HF CH3, so clearly calling
and waiting for a response. KFS sounds distorted compared to the clean
signal from KFH frequencies.
Go get them! 73, Walt
