It is an interesting reminder of times when Morse was still in wide use
for other than hobby purposes...which ended only 14 years ago.

I loved the MF maritime Morse band of 405 to 535 kHz.  When in high school
almost 50 years ago, I used a BC-453-A to copy traffic on that band in the
evening, and left it tuned the rest of the night to 500 kHz.  I once had
intentions of using my Second Class Radiotelegraph ticket for a while at
sea...but other things intervened. :-)

BTW, the MRHS just updated a website with the latest information about
the 12 July 2013 Event (0001Z, 13 July 2013).  See:
