KPH night of nights - who is??

[The Ancient Mariner]

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me who the lady is sending that lovely bug key CW at
the end of the piece? She makes some errors, as we all do, but it only
makes the CW more human. Does she have a ham license?

I believe her name is Elaine, WA6UBE, and she's shown here in this video.

That would be our very own Denice "DA" Stoops, USCG radioman, first KPH female telegrapher (1979). DA was a purely commercial operator for almost 20 years. While I encouraged her to maintain that purity, dispensation to get a ham license was recently granted. She's now KI6BBR. She also recently upgraded her commercial license to a First Class Radiotelegraph (not easy for most to do given the experience requirement!).

The best part is watching DA on the air. She enjoys herself tremendously and says she didn't know how much she missed it until it was gone.

Elaine WA6UBE took the video.

The op is Denice Stoops KI6BBR who was one of the original operators at KPH.

Hi Meir -

    One little correction.  Denise was not one of the original KPH operators.  That would have meant she was operating in 1905.  You can tell by her present good looks that that can't be true!  But she was the first YL operator at KPH.  In fact I don't know of any other YL op at KPH so maybe she is the one and only YL operator of KPH!

There was indeed another KPH YL op who joined the staff after DA paved the way. This was Lola who has visited the station and DA. Her ticket, along with those of all the KPH ops of the last phase of operation, remain on the wall at the station. We current operators would not think of posting our own licenses on this hallowed wall space. Ours are at a separate location awaiting the review of any Radio Inspector who may pay a call.

Bob,

Of course I meant that she was an op at KPH before it was closed as a
commercial operation and not only now, when it's a heritage
preservation type of operation...

Hi Bob,   There was one other YL cw op at KPH, Lola Olsen. . I hired her in the early 1990s. TR and some of the other hams on the KPH staff highly recommended her and she turned out to be a fine operator and asset to the staff.   73 Jack Martini Opr KPH 1961-1986 Manager 1986-1997 and a GEISEL trained man. --- On Fri, 10/31/08, W6...@aol.com <W6...@aol.com> wrote:

Richard,

Many thanks for the information. I will look out for Denise on the
air.

I think I may have worked her several times in 1980-81 when I was R/O
on the Lindblad Explorer, a small cruise liner carrying about 90
mostly American passengers. Much of the traffic was through KPH - at
odd times of the day and night - we were in Asia and Antarctica.

Denise (DA) has a very steady bug style - a pleasure to hear it.
