Cant believe they were still using Morse code in 1991?
@sparkswhatsgoingon1671 2 күн бұрын
Morse code has been used until 1999 and many stations also over.

fab memories, great to hear the old coast stations again, I came ashore in 1980 after nearly 15 years, and great years they were. The end was sad, but I suppose it had to be.

Hi! Someone put more weight(s) themselves. In the clip above it seems the Operator put maybe some magnets...

Very sadly all the Australian coast stations in the video are now gone. Used the HF and VHF radiotelephone services a lot when sailing around the coast. There were some great characters as these stations as well. Always remember the operator at VIT Townsville Radio reading from a comic at the end of the morning WX sched. Fond memories. 73's

Whatever happened to all that gear!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video. I was a ship's RO in the early 90's as GMDSS dealt its death blow....but got a short few months on a WT ship and it was grand! kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6jXf5uHhsmir6csi=DbG4Or1w-v6UDHdt kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHq8inZsiNx6j5osi=hLCF1AZeVLWXFYia

In the 70"s, Morse is still the mainstream of ship's communications. Only passenger liners would have equipment which provide radio telephone and telex services. My R/O career started on 1978, working on a one years old ship. The ITT synthesizer console able to make phone call ashore thru coastal station! But for telex, only one ship in our fleet (total 80 ships) provide it!

This station possibly built on late 60. Cause the digital rcvr and xmtr start their service at around mid 70.
@pt100 4 ай бұрын
Between 1960-1985，This kind of passenger liners at least got 4 radio officer working on board. The Chief doesn't need to keep watch but to receive news from coastal after midnight but before 6 in the morning. This job takes around 2 hours continuing receiving Morse signals!

HEB was one of the best, particularly when faced with marginal conditions on the other side of the world -you could rely on them going the extra mile despite QSA 0/1 -first rate operators. 73s from Mike Greenwood ex Carbay/5MQB, Sequoia/A8YO, Dora Riparia/IMBW.

Yeah this system is still on but with new satellites of generation INMARSAT C but they use numeric modulation with TDM system (Time Division Multiplexing), the Satelltes are used by all ships of the world because it is not a russian system but an International Cooperation.
