We aren't talking about failure to receive a CW SOS. Those ships that responded did so after receiving word of the sinking by radio. They saved many lives from the lifeboats which would otherwise have been lost to the cold. Dave N |

uhhhh..... good point. Not sure what your point applies to... but OK, we all
agree that radio is a useful invention. What were we talking about again? rb "David G. Nagel" wrote in message ... an old friend wrote: David G.

A ham operator intercepted the SOS from the RMS Titanic. Did that save even one life? If the Titanic's CW operator had not bullied the California's CW operator off the air, the California might have saved the day. But after such shabby treatment from the Titanic's arrogant CW operator, the California's CW operator shut down and turned in. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |

If the present GPS-based system had existed at the time, how would things have turned out? Which system is presently inferior and virtually obsolete? -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |

C'mon Cecil, you've been licensed as long as I have. I Know you Know CW. Does that mean we're virtually obsolete? RE Titanic: The same result would have happened. The ship hit an iceberg in poor visibility. I don't think icebergs carry GPS transponders these days. Now, the Titanic's GPS; does it have transponder capability? The older GPS units do not. Anyway, after the crew slipped by the iceberg that ripped it open, the radio op gets on the air and reports "SOS" or equivalent. The nearest ships respond. Under conditions similar to 1914{?} the Titanic still sinks. Many people still die. But, now we know to 20 feet exactly where the ship was when it sank. GPS won't make a difference. Neither will CW today. I still enjoy CW. |
