BALTIMORE -- On Aug. 4, the United States Coast Guard celebrated the 226th
anniversary of its founding. On Aug. 4, 1790 the U.S. Treasury Department
created the Revenue Cutter Service to enforce newly-created tariffs on the
high seas. Until the U.S. Navy was created in 1794, it was the only U.S.
military maritime presence. It's name was changed to the U.S. Coast Guard
in 1915 and it is the oldest continuous United States military sea service.
bThe Coast Guard has seen action in every major U.S. military action since
the War of 1812. Today the mission of the U.S. Coast Guard includes search
and rescue, coastal security, drug and migrant interdiction, marine
environmental protection, maritime safety, enforcement of U.S. maritime
regulations, and military action when necessary. The Easton Amateur Radio
Society commemorated this occasion by operating a Special Event Station
aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Taney, located at Pier 5 at the Inner Harbor
in Baltimore. The station operated under the call sign W3T from the radio
room of the Taney and communicated with other Amateur Radio Stations all
over the United States, Canada, and Europe. Operating from 9 a.m. to 5
p.m., 231 Amateur stations were contacted.
