Research on the CW Transmission

This was a fascinating find. Apparently this was a maritime station that was idle for many years and then brought back to life by hobbyists. It appears they use the original equipment.

A little more in depth about the previous log – this was captured using Fldigi – software that can demodulate digital communication modes as well as decode CW (Morse Code). I was able to hear this CW transmission and decode it with Fldigi.

The CQ part is the station requesting to speak with any station. DE means ‘from’, followed by the call sign KPH. QSX is a request to listen on a frequency. The transmitting station then is saying – ‘Any station, this is KPH, please listen for me’.
I am unable to understand the rest, I assume the frequencies that the QSX is meant for.

Very interesting find and it is really great that hobbyists are able to keep this piece of history alive.
