[GreenKeys] model 14 and 2B questions

[Richard Dillman]

did kph run RCA RADIOGRAMS  to Hawaii?
apparently yes and had  agreements  with WU

-----

There's a slight but important differentiation to keep in mind.

KPH was (and is) strictly a ship to shore coast station.  It did not engage in point to point work, eg. radiograms to Hawaii or the other cities of the Pacific rim.  That was the business of the RCA point-to-point service, beginning in 1920 with the 200kW Alexanderson alternators under the call KET.  Later, when HF came into play, each circuit had its own call.

What we see in the 1946 photograph is the post war operating room of KPH so anything there would be connected with ship to shore traffic only.

Dick notice yours has the 2  holes as  this  
also.

someone you have been talking to has  a WU 14 but case 
needs to be switched  with the  14 and in any event to make  even 
the right case look correct you will  have top cut a round hole and  
the oval hole... or... just accept it and  say" yea it is a WU 14  
that is SIMILAR  to the orig KPH one..
( neat you are  trying to set on up there   
to display let us know what other help you will need... and please keep an eye 
out  for a bohme  tape sender to  go with our whetstone 
puncher  thing!)

Thanks for that information.

-----

I do not  travel much any  more  but would 
like to see what  you are doing there in person some time!

-----

We would look forward to your visit!  Just let me know when you're coming.

Best,
