[MilCom] 8260:CG K/West Sector clg Cruise Ship Zenith re Drew rescue; 10 0146Z MAR 05

[Milspec390 at aol.com]

8260 Kcs USB: K/West CG Sector clg Cruise Ship Zenith - Celebrity Cruises, 
Tampa to Key West, Cozumel & Grand Cayman run, good for DXng Kuber - re Drew 
rescue. Correction: course 339 degrees, not 292 erroneously reported earlier.

   Who says shipboard HF went way of haycart? So much for Algore's 'Shortwave 
is obsolete, data rate too slow" bromides. Freq jumping presently, 'data 
rate' - doncha just love pedantic sophistry - more than agreeable on this 
wretchedly raw evening.

On another note, VHF Lo Band - another supposedly 'obsolete' medium - hopping 
with CT fire depts and SS OM's from other direction chatting most excitedly. 
Superb
