Welcome aboard! This site serves those who held the enlisted rating of Radioman (RM) or Telecommunications Specialist (TC), and who employed International Morse Code (CW) in their routine communications duties on Coast Guard cutters and shore stations.

If you are a first time visitor and wish to know more about our Association, I invite you to view About Us.

Preserving Our History. Beyond serving our membership, our website is a depository of Coast Guard Communications History. Please feel free to browse through our site taking special notice of our Memorabilia Page which is full of historical information about the "old" Coast Guard Primary and Secondary Radio Stations. Oh, by the way, look in those dusty boxes you have and if you have any old photos - we'd be happy to have them.

Certain areas (Member's Only & Newsletters) are restricted for our membership. If you are interested in joining our Association, membership qualifications are simple: You must have been a Coast Guard CW operator. Check out our Membership Application.
