[CW] Fwd: World War II Radio Heroes

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

One of the finest Morse operators I've ever worked.  Flav K3JA.

Flavius Z. Jankauskas (SK), now K3JA. Other known calls: W3JAK, KG1JA,
LY2JA and DJ1JA.





He was as ship radio operator beginning around 1944. In 1944 18 year-old
Flavius was the 2nd radio operator on the SS Hannibal Hamlin. He served as
radio operator on the SS John W. Powell in 1945 and SS Skystar in 1952.


Operator: W3JAK Flavius Jankauskas in 1942

During World War II Flavius Jankauskas was one of many short wave listeners
who monitored German broadcasts and passed information to the families of
POWs. The book World War II Radio Heroes: Letters of Compassion by Lisa L
Spahr documents the activities of these listeners. The photo of Flavius is
on the cover of the book.
