[CW] Books that talk about CW

[David J. Ring, Jr.]

I just got reminded by my friend "Sylvester Foecking"
<foecking at main-rheiner.de> who published a book about CW recently with LOTS
of stories.s

This one is still in print:

On February 1'st, 1999, radio-telegraph service on board ships was ended.

The radio officers were no longer needed and left the ships, and the

majority of coast-stations stopped their services. The grand era of the

transmission of messages by Morse code had lasted almost 100 years .

"Sparks what's going on?"

In 300 pages, A5 format, 64 colleagues from 20 nations tell more than one

hundred, partly illustrated, stories in the English language.
funny stories of life at sea and at the coastal stations.

There is something for everybody - perhaps self-experienced - and for EUR

13.00 (+ postage and packing) really affordable.

The publishing of this book is on a non-profit basis, and the authors

willingly declined the author's fee. However, we will make a gift:  This

gift may be done to preserve the memory of sea-wireless radio, i.e. to a

museum or another means of preservation concerning radio communication at

sea, or radio officer's lives.

The book was issued on the 50'th anniversary of the

"Seefunkkameradschaft BREMEN" (R/O comradeship),
on August 30th, 2003.
