[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

Hello Tony, W4FOA,

Yes, I was able to speak to Ed W1YT before he passed.  Miraculously he was
standing next to me up in Deerfield, NH at a hamfest about 2009 - I had
never met him in person - we had a nice chat and marvelled at Providence
having two radio Morse friends stand next to me and having us talk to each
other and discover it.

You might have listened to the recording he sent me - he makes an
appearance also...

In the middle 1980s, former United States Coast Guard Radioman and well
known radio amateur, Edward A. McCarthy, W1YT was tuning the 7.0 MHz
amateur radio bands at his amateur radio station in Florida when he came
upon a conversation between two amateurs using continuous wave (CW) Morse
radiotelegraphy. Since a tape recorder was nearby, he decided to record the
conversation between David J. Ring, Jr., N1EA/MM (Maritime Mobile) who was
sailing as as Radio Officer in the Merchant Marine on the coastwise tanker
"SS KING" run by American Heavy Lift Shipping, Inc. of Houston, TX. The SS
KING was in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico having sailed from Corpus
Christi, Texas two days prior and another local radio amateur who was
getting on the air after a long absence.

Mr. McCarthy, W1YT sent this recording directly to the "SS KING" where Mr.
Ring was so overjoyed at the quality, he decided to improve on it by making
a recording of storm and rain sounds and mixing the Morse code together
with it.

Hundreds of people have asked me for this recording, including some from
Japan where one person told me he listens to it daily while traveling the
Bullet Train.
