If you had to use CW to save someone's life, would that person die?
It was a CQD actually....
but the point is, the ham immediately alerted the Frankfurt, Olympic, Carpathia, et al and told them to go save lives! Being simple Marconists however; they all said 'no' so the ham grabbed his portable radio trunk, strapped a J-38 to his leg, jumped into his skiff and madly paddled 46 hours straight out to the stricken ship, all the while tapping out rescue coordination efforts with his elbow, and.... wait... I forget, where does it go from there? rb "David G. Nagel" wrote in message ... Cecil Moore wrote: Dirk wrote: Ham's care more about operating appliances than knowing how to save a lives. How many times in the entire history of amateur radio has a ham used CW to actually save a life? One would think there would be a book full of examples by now. A ham operator intercepted the SOS from the RMS Titanic. |
