So basically what I do is I take all the 3 00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:24.839 audio clips out of my videos and upload them to spreaker and then from there 4 00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:31.280 they're spread out to iTunes and SoundCloud and now Amazon Audible as well. But 5 00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:35.079 I want to welcome you and thank you for joining the audio section of this 6 00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:40.200 series on Ham Radio. I hope you enjoy it, and I would appreciate 7 00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:45.880 you leaving us a comment or a review on whatever podcast service you're listening from. 8 00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:53.079 Thank you in seventy three, I hope you enjoy it. What kind 9 00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:58.600 of wireless communications were used on the Titanic that sank in nineteen twelve? How 10 00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:03.840 did that event, tragic as it may be, improve wireless communications for maritime 11 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:08.040 mobile and ships at sea since then? What is a history of soos? 12 00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:11.680 And did the Titanic even use SS? Was it even around back then? 13 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:19.120 We're going to talk about that today and more coming up right now. Thanks 14 00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:22.640 for joining the channel today. I'm Jason k C five HGBB. A while 15 00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:26.319 back, I posted a video about a hand radio operator in Wales that heard 16 00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:32.920 distress calls over the airwaves from the Titanic when it sank in nineteen twelve, 17 00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:37.159 and since then, you guys have given me some really good feedback in the 18 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:40.079 comments, So a lot of what we're going to talk about today came from 19 00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.840 links that you shared with me. So put a comment below if you have 20 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:46.319 any comments on this specific video right here. I think it's important to start 21 00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:51.439 with what exactly is the meaning of soos. Some people may say, I've 22 00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:53.760 always heard that it says save our ships? What does SOS stand for? 23 00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:59.040 This is a great article from all on all bands dot com. There's a 24 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.120 lot of different website out there that you could find this on, but this 25 00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:06.239 right here says it's not save our ships or save our souls like you might 26 00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.280 think. I always thought it would save our ships, but according to this 27 00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:13.280 article, it's not. Instead, the distress signal that originated in the maritime 28 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.080 community in communication you specifically for ships based on Morse code, is represented by 29 00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:20.800 three dots, three dashes, and three more dots, which is really easy 30 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:28.400 to understand. Here's an example of what SS actually sounds like. That's I 31 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:30.639 turned the speed down a little bit. I'm not very good at sending morse 32 00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:32.319 code yet I'm working on it. I'm working on it. So OS wasn't 33 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:38.639 first recognized as a distress signal. Before SOS, there was CQD and CQ 34 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:44.000 translating general notice and D appreciate abbreviation for distress. So the Titanic, and 35 00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.280 we're gonna gonna show you this here at mid so you're gonna want to stay 36 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:50.919 tuned for this. I found a really cool video of Morse code that was 37 00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:55.879 sent from the Titanic both as a distress call and prior to the emergency that 38 00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:00.199 happened. So watch this. That Titanic sent both cq D and SS so 39 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:04.719 you're gonna want to watch that. For sure. CQUD wasn't a universal distress 40 00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:09.840 called England, you CQUD. The US Navy used NC the International Code of 41 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:15.800 Signals maritime distress flag signal, and Italy used sss D D. Boy, 42 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:21.919 that's along SSSDD Okay, a common indicator of distress and reel was real the 43 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:25.719 mode of communication needed to fit forlong Okay. So the universal use of s 44 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:31.240 OS was ratified nineteen o six at the nineteen o six Radio Telegraph Conference and 45 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:35.319 went into effect in nineteen o eight. So that's four years before the Titanic 46 00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.280 sank or set sale En sank both. It first documented the use in the 47 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:45.319 US occurred in August of nineteen o nine, when the SS Arapaho lost power 48 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:52.360 in the Graveyard of the Atlantic near the Diamond Shoals. TD Habner also recipient 49 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.840 and second document us SS signals sent to distress call and the ship and crew 50 00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:01.039 were successfully rescued. Okay, so good. So so CQD was used prior 51 00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:04.680 to SS, but today we use SS. And I'm told that, you 52 00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:08.400 know, they say it doesn't stand for anything. So I'm told it's just 53 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:15.120 so recognizable that it's just like s OS means. So it's it's kind of 54 00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:17.000 like that. That's That's what I'm told, more than anything. Okay, 55 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.639 So it doesn't stand for anything. So what does CQD sound like? CQD 56 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:29.439 Is this c q d D as dog did it? That's a D. 57 00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:35.600 Okay, So that's CQD. So the sinking of the Titanic, actually they 58 00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:41.319 used both CQD and s OS and it was heard by that ham raider operator 59 00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:45.480 in Wales. But I thought it was very interesting how that all came about. 60 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:46.839 Now, I don't want to make light of the tragedy that's not what 61 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.920 I'm saying, but there are there are multiple stories throughout history where a tragedy 62 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:55.560 happened, they figured out how to improve what had gone wrong, and they 63 00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.680 put it into action, And today we have a lot of the rules and 64 00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:03.040 regulations that came out of certain things like that. So this is just one 65 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:08.000 example of how that happened with the Titanic, Nist and the Titanic. How 66 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:13.079 the seeking of the ship improved wireless communications for navigating the sea. Okay, 67 00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.879 so if you roll down it scroll down here and I'll share links to all 68 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.240 this in the description of video below. This is a really cool picture right 69 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:26.040 there of some old radio teletype and Morse code telegraphy equipment. There. In 70 00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:29.920 the late evening hours of April fourteen, ninety twelve, Titanic struck an Iceberg 71 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:31.920 and about six hundred forty kilometers four and miles off the coast of Newfoundland. 72 00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:35.560 By two twenty am on April fifteenth, the ship had sunk. Only about 73 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:39.600 seven hundred people survived. More than fifteen hundred and cluding pastors and crew, 74 00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:43.000 were lost. At the time. This is this is the this is the 75 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.920 part that pertains to this video. Here. At the time the use of 76 00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:50.240 wireless systems such as wires telegraphy on ships was relatively new. Passengers and crew 77 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:56.160 could use these telegraphs to send messages back to land, and they played a 78 00:05:56.279 --> 00:06:00.079 role on the ship's operations, communicating between different areas of the ship. The 79 00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.240 technology relied on radio frequencies to transmit telegraph signals as coded messages without relying on 80 00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:08.399 telegraph lines, so no phone lines and what in other words, or telegraph 81 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:11.680 lines back then. Okay, The wireless telegraph on the Titanic was owned and 82 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:15.920 operated by the Marconi Company. Okay, good deal, and was considered one 83 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:17.439 of the best in the world, with a range of about sixteen hundred KOs, 84 00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:21.040 which is a thousand miles. However, the system's electronic hit this is 85 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:27.079 good. However, the systems electronics created so much noise that it disrupted wireless 86 00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.040 systems all over the ship. So they had RFI back in the day. 87 00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.319 RIFI has always been a thing. Later on, the article goes on to 88 00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.839 talk about how spark gap creates a lot of RIFI noise, of course, 89 00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:41.000 and they were trying to move away from spark gap because of that fact. 90 00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:45.639 Spark gap was one of the first types of communication types of modes of communication 91 00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:48.920 instead of CW, Morse code or what we call continuous wave and HIM radio 92 00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:51.759 instead of sideband or FM or AM or what. That. Spark gap was 93 00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:56.120 a thing used back in the day that's really not used anymore. You can 94 00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:00.519 see some really cool spark gap transmitters at the Marconi Museum in Long Island, 95 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:01.560 New York. We did a tour of that a couple of years ago. 96 00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:03.879 It was fun. This is an interesting part right here. The sinking of 97 00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:09.720 the Titanic also highlighted the lack of trained telegraphers. Okay, so Morris code 98 00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:15.040 CW and wireless technology was very new in the early twentieth century. Okay, 99 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:17.920 Since the wireless technology was relatively new, many of the ship's wireless telegraphers were 100 00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:21.399 inexperienced. They had a hard time catching signal sent to them. I have 101 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:25.600 a hard time. It's twenty years later to that, one hundred and ten 102 00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:28.160 years later today, I still have a hard time catching signal sent to me. 103 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:30.439 I need to practice my Morris code. They had difficulty relaying messages, 104 00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:34.720 and we're frequently sending repeats of their messages, so they made sense. On 105 00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:40.519 shore, the disaster would spur government officials and researchers and lawmakers to address the 106 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:45.600 shortcomings in wireless technology. And then it talks about the International Radio Telegraph Conference 107 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:48.839 Radio Act of nineteen twelve. So this was six years after the long we 108 00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:53.040 talked about a second ago, okay, And this was interesting right here. 109 00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:56.120 Two wave links were used at the time, and the leaders of the conference 110 00:07:56.160 --> 00:08:01.360 agreed that the six hundred meter wave length would be used OLIE for ships at 111 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:05.240 sea. Now, six hundred meters is about zero point five mega hurts or 112 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:09.439 five hundred kiloherts. Now it is down in the MF band medium frequency. 113 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:13.160 That's not a derogatory term, that's not a it's not a foul language abbreviation. 114 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:20.399 Okay. MF means medium frequency, HF is high frequency, LF is 115 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.120 low frequency VLF low frequency, that kind of thing. There's there's certain measurements 116 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:30.160 of mega hurts and killaherts that follow those band, those segments of the band 117 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.720 as we call it today. The HF band starts at three mega hurts and 118 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.240 goes to thirty megahurts, which most of amateur radio HF is in there. 119 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:41.000 Technically, the one hundred and sixty meter band is between one point six and 120 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:45.399 two megahurts. That is in the MF band. Technically it's not HF, 121 00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:48.039 it's m medium frequency. So there you go. That's a that's a thing 122 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.519 right there. But that's in the MF band down there at zero dot five 123 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.080 hundred megaherts or five hundred kilaherts, as you can see right here. I 124 00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:58.519 just had I just googled it because I couldn't remember where the bottom of the 125 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.679 MF band was. But medium frequent sees the ITU designation for radio frequencies in 126 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:07.120 the range of three hundred kiloherts two three megahurts, which is three thousand killerherts. 127 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.519 So the six hundred meter band would be five hundred killaherts, which would 128 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.759 be in that range of frequencies. The next part of this article I found 129 00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:18.039 interesting was that Congress also passed the nineteen twelve Radio Act US Congress, which 130 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:24.480 required licensinging of commercial and amateur station amateur radio stations, minimizing interference communication between 131 00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:30.600 stations, addressing types of wavelengths used, and prohibiting interference in radio communications, 132 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:35.519 to name a few. Congress delegated the task of investigating how to implement these 133 00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:39.679 measurements to the NIST, known at the time as the National Bureau of Standards. 134 00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:43.200 Pretty cool picture of a old piece of equipment right there. So great. 135 00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.279 So that's a really kind of a brief history on SOOS, a brief 136 00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.600 history on CQD. But I thought that the coolest part, okay, the 137 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:56.080 really coolest part, okay, is this video I found that are literal transmissions 138 00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:01.159 from the as somebody recorded it. Apparently it was It's somewhere and I don't 139 00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.519 know if they replayed the CW recording, if they found the written text that 140 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:09.519 someone had copied down and someone put it to CW, or if there was 141 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:11.200 an actual recording of the CW from back in the day. It was one 142 00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:15.200 hundred and ten years ago, so I'm not sure what sort of recording equipment 143 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:18.480 they had back then, but it's an interesting thing to look at regardless. 144 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:20.600 So you guys check the link in the description. Blow. I'm gonna play 145 00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:22.480 part of this video, but not the whole thing. Special thanks to this 146 00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:26.360 Canada dan channel for posting this. This is really cool, so you're gonna 147 00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:30.639 want to watch this. Learning Morris code is challenging but can be very fun 148 00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:33.240 and rewarding, and if you're interested in doing it yourself, you can go 149 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.519 check out chat radio dot com, the sponsor of this video. Among other 150 00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.720 things, they sell a wide range of viberplex and Venture keys at their store 151 00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:46.080 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. They've been a sponsor of the show for some time, 152 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:48.360 and I wanted to incorporate them and thank them for sponsoring this video. 153 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:50.799 But check out the link in the description below, and if you go over 154 00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.360 there and check out the stuff that they have for sale their website, be 155 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.360 sure to tell them that Ham Radio two point zero sent you. So this 156 00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:01.080 starts out where the t ten people are on the Titanic sending messages back to 157 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:07.480 sure because why not. They're just communicating the same way you would send a 158 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.240 text message today if you're at c and you had a signal, or you 159 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:13.480 might call someone if you have a satellite phone, or if you're a Ham 160 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.559 radio operator, you might actually get on the radio and say seku squ Maritime 161 00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.480 Mobile. Make sure you have the captain's permission before you do that. So 162 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.480 Titanic to KPE Race. By the way, the designation for Titanic was MG 163 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:30.200 y M stand for Mark Marconi and I'm not sure what GY was, but 164 00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:37.240 mGy is this, that's mGy. So you're gonna hear that. Now, 165 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:39.679 this guy sends a lot faster than I do. Okay, but you're gonna 166 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.840 hear that sequence of events. And instead of spelling out Titanic, T I 167 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.399 T A NIC, they just use mGy And that's the call sign for Titanic 168 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.120 on this video here. So check this out. This is pretty cool. 169 00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:11.159 This guy's sitting really fast. For me, that's fast Titanic to Cape Race. 170 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:16.559 I don't know what Cape Race is. George Sigmund, New York, 171 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:22.519 Whether delightful, feeling fine? This is at twelve fifteen am on April fifteenth. 172 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:28.080 This is pretty cool. It's tragic, but it's quit. It's it's 173 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.159 it's it's fun to see how how it was used back then. Okay, 174 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:45.879 so now after that you could see c q D. That's it CQD. 175 00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.279 So I don't know they're they're using something there that I heard c q D, 176 00:12:54.799 --> 00:13:00.120 and then I heard a code like a deduct something I don't I and 177 00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:01.840 understand that code. And then I heard m g Y, So I don't 178 00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.480 know what they're using for this is is it t I? I don't know. 179 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:07.000 I don't I don't know. I don't know that. Somebody with better 180 00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:30.360 skills on cw CO comment below given their position, Frankfurt's replying to the Titanic, 181 00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:37.240 what is the problem, What is the matter. So it goes on 182 00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:41.519 to say, I mean he just replies c q c q D again, 183 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:48.360 this is Titanic, give me the position. Okay, stand by Mount Temple 184 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:54.519 to Titanic, what is the matter. Ah, So they couldn't read them. 185 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:58.200 Titanic to Mount Temple. Cannot read you, old man. They were 186 00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:03.759 using om back in the day. That's it's pretty cool. Cannot read you, 187 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:07.519 old man. But here here's my position. They're giving their position over 188 00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:16.440 and over again. Titanic sending CQD says requires assistance, give position. Cannot 189 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:24.440 hear me advice, That's what they're all saying. So they're saying CQD calling 190 00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.720 out to stress signal, giving their position, but not telling people why quite 191 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:33.159 yet, we have struck a bird twelve twenty five am. Here it is 192 00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:39.080 Titanic to Carpathia. Carpathia says to Titanic, do you know what the Cape 193 00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:41.799 cod is sending a batch of messages for you? Titanic to Carpathia, Come 194 00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:46.360 at once we have struck a burg. It's a CQD old man position again, 195 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:50.720 and then if you go on here, if you keep it so, 196 00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:54.360 they're sending CQD at this point in time. They haven't sent s OS yet, 197 00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:56.759 but they will hear in a moment. Yeah, they couldn't read him. 198 00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:00.039 See Carpathia to Titanic. Titanic to Carpathia, no old man, and 199 00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:03.240 I can't read him for Russia air and noise of steam. So there was 200 00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:07.840 just like they didn't have headsets as presumably they didn't have headsets. They were 201 00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:16.200 just sitting there callings distress called CQD and s OS with a radio speaker on 202 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:18.000 him or or however they were listening to it right there. Okay, So 203 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:26.840 Titanic to at twelve forty five am, Titanic to Olympic s OS, c 204 00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:30.240 q D s OS. This is Titanic. We have struck Iceberg, sinking 205 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:41.240 fast. Come to our assistants. Twelve forty five am. KPE Race is 206 00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:50.559 doing a relay Kape Race to Californian SOS from Titanic CQD in position. This 207 00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:54.840 video here is fifty three minutes long. I highly suggest you guys go watch 208 00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:58.080 this whole video. It's very interesting. Here we go, it's after one 209 00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:03.039 am. Now, life number eight is launched from Titanic at one am. 210 00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:04.720 That's just what happened. That's not something they're sending. That's why it's in 211 00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:11.000 brackets like that. Okay, right here around one thirty am c q D 212 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:14.039 s O s c QD s OS, So they're sending both. Now engine 213 00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:18.960 room flooded right here, and this is the end of it. Collapsible boat 214 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:23.440 see launch at CQC CQD c q DO. This is Titanic at two two 215 00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:26.799 am. And this is just kind of giving you a there's there. It 216 00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:32.320 is a v was sent at two ten am two ten am c q D. 217 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.840 And the audio on the video itself is lower than it was a minute 218 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:53.679 ago. We are sinking fast passengers and being put into life boats. Mg 219 00:16:55.000 --> 00:17:06.279 Y Titanic, Virginuine Titanic cannot read you, they couldn't read them. Signals 220 00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:11.559 so weak they couldn't read them. So presumably this was recorded someone some expert 221 00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:15.759 in CW came along after the fact. In fact, this guy explains kind 222 00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:18.240 of more of this, and yeah, I've taken all Morse code communications I 223 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:22.279 could find in the knighted Titanic and turn it into a streaming text. Okay, 224 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:26.079 so this guy created, Hats off to you, bud. This guy 225 00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:30.200 created. He went through and tapped out the Morse code himself from written transcripts 226 00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:33.160 that were recorded during the event. Okay, good, It's easy to look 227 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:34.599 at this after the fact because you hear. I mean, we all know 228 00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:41.200 what happened one hundred and ten years later. But SSQ do CQ do Titanic 229 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:48.160 to seventeen am. I think this is the last one cq D. This 230 00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:53.079 is Titanic. Oh, what they're sending for this is is d E. 231 00:17:55.039 --> 00:18:00.880 D E means day. It means from D. Sometimes you'll see guys with 232 00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:03.960 on Ham Radio signed their email signatures d E their call signed. I signed 233 00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:07.920 that mind a lot of times d K C five HWB. It means from 234 00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:12.440 So this is Titanic means from Titanic, literally speaking, it's translated as from 235 00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:19.000 Titanic. I caught that D just then, and that was it. That 236 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:25.480 was it. That was the last recorded documented the transmission from the Titanic on 237 00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:30.079 the early mornings of April fifteenth, nineteen twelve. So again I don't want 238 00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:33.720 to make light of the story. It's an interesting historical event that happened that 239 00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:37.119 we can learn a lot from. That we did learn a lot from, 240 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:41.519 and now a lot of the telecommunications and maritime mobile rules and laws we have 241 00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:45.400 in place we're a result of what happened to this ship and the tragic loss 242 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.920 of life that happened on this ship in nineteen twelve. So a lot of 243 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:52.079 the stuff we have today. We have better transmitters, we have better receivers, 244 00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:56.200 we have less RFI interfering stuff. We have headphones. Presuming that guy 245 00:18:56.200 --> 00:19:00.519 didn't have headphones because he was talking about how they could he couldn't heard because 246 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:03.720 of wind, noise and steam. You don't have your Higle pro sevenon. 247 00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:07.279 Presumably now we've got experience being a lot more experience with it because it's not 248 00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:10.319 a new technology anymore. In fact, some people say it's not even used 249 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:14.000 anymore and they just don't know interesting history behind the Titanic and the Morse code 250 00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:15.759 messages that were sent from them. Thank you to those of you who sent 251 00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:18.440 me the length in the last video. Put a comment in this video. 252 00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:21.519 Let me know what else you would like to see on this story.
