[CW] Fake or Real? MGY

[spud roscoe]

Good Morning:

If my memory serves me correctly I remember reading something of the court case over WSL during World War I. In that the so called experts stated they did not know of a devise that could record radio signals. Maybe if you have access to that it will indicate fake because it was four or five years after Titanic. Years ago I interviewed some of the old operators that were operating around then. I find it hard to believe there was a recording and the Cape Race VCE logs on Titanic were lost in the fire when the station burned in 1919.

Hope this helps.

The narrator isn't me. There was a W5 callsign given at the end, that man was born in 1920, he has an amazing voice for a man that old.  Most likely the last letter of his call got cut off.

I agree with your remarks, they spent a lot of time on a fake recording, I think.

particularly the origin of the recording.
    Is the narrator you David? If so I wish I had been a little
more gentle in my remarks. Also, if its you, it makes my
judgement more toward the recording being genuine because I know
you are a historian and generally pretty reliabl
