[Elecraft] OT - Titanic II 2016 ...and CW?

[Rick Dettinger]

Actually, it was spark that played a role, and we probably won't hear that from the Titanic II, since it hasn't been legal on the air since 1938.  
CW was still at least a decade off, though the date seems to be elusive.  
Spark was still the mode used in 1920 for ships at sea, as chronicled in the novel "The Nymph and the Lamp", by Thomas Raddall, a good read.   
And, yes, it would be nice if Morse Code could be heard from the Titanic II, in any mode.

I don't think there will be any hams operating from the radio room in today's post-911 days of paranoia about security but I sure do hope that between now and 2016, those DXpedition- caliber hams with influence and the $$$ will approach the right people to start talks on putting some kind of plan in place that acknowledges the full historical account of the Titanic including the Radio Act of 1912 that followed the disaster.  CW played a role and who better to celebrate that around the world than we hams!  What great publicity this could be for amateur radio, CW, and the sponsors of such an effort.  73, Stan WB2LQF
