DGrRS Es fasziniert mich immer wieder aufs Neue, mit wie viel Einsatz, Nächstenliebe und Mut, sich Menschen, für das Wohl anderer Menschen in Seenot, mit einer Selbstverständlichkeit, einsetzen. Dankeschön♥♥♥L.G. Heike aus Memmingen

memories of 15 years a Sea - fantastic

Wirklich tolle Zeitkapsel! Helden!

Vielen Dank an alle Seenotretter für euren Einsatz! Tolles Zeitdokument.

Não entendi nada! Como pode um monte operadores Telex juntos com outros de Radiotelegrafia?? Que trem doido!!

Não entendi patavina! Uma hora o cara fala em Alemão,outra hora em Russo... Essa mistura de CW e Telex?? Que rolo!!

Que coisa mais idiota!!

Grossartig ... absolut!

Nope!

Ich habe leider noch nicht genug Geld gespendet, aber jeder so wie er kann ❤️

Zur Info: die DGzRS ist eine Gesellschaft, die sich ausschließlich aus Spenden finanziert und seit über 150 Jahren völlig unabhängig von staatlichem Einfluss arbeitet. Die Frauen und Männer der DGzRS machen einen hervorragenden Job. Da ist jeder Spenden-Euro eine gute Investition!

Schöner Film! Decksmann Dieter wird später selbst Seenotretter und im Sturm von Bord des SK Vormann Steffens in der Jademündung gerissen, als der Kreuzer eine gewaltige Quersee erwischt. Glücklicherweise wird er überleben und kurz vor knapp von anderen Seenotrettern und einem Sea King der Marine gefunden und gerettet.

What a gem! Thank you for sharing so much! + de DL7HH . .

Hello, George Manning was my grandfather, he died when I was pretty little so it was nice to be able to see video of him. I was wondering if you have anymore footage of him? If you do and you'd like any proof that I am who I say I am I can provide his call sign.

I remember well the day it all ended and later with GMDSS which was the death nail in the coffin for RO,s

Sad time but worse was to come. RO's and now extinct. Still pounding my brass pump here. Vive Le CW

My Dad was on the H.D. Thoreau. THOREAU got caught in a North Atlantic storm, bombs broke loose in the hold and were rolling around! Sent a distress. The "solution?" All ships ordered to MOVE FORTY MILES AWAY from THOREAU! 🤣 After they got through that, they were diverted to Savannah to unload. I know he went to Murmansk, and somewhere else he went they took horses(!) and had a Veterinarian with them. 73 DE W8LV BILL

People have forgot the Power of Radio and shortwave and morse code to get information through. I been a ham since very young and now 44 years of radio hobby fixing and operation when i can - video makes me proud that i know morse code very well. Big thank you to all the radio operators ship, land and ham radio . Thank for the video posting. Anthony ve4akf.

"it's a CQD Old Man". Even in the 1990s we were still calling each other OM on 500kHz.

Jede Sekunde Spannung. Ein Zeitdokument von bleibenden Werten

I was a Radioman in severals ships in Chilean Navy operating CW mode...it was a beautiful time and experience...best regard to all radio operators from those years...

Nice video of a very sad night.- My heart still is craying from then.- Best wishes from Mario, actually HAM Radio LU5EE ex "LSA/Bocaradio" Operator.-

So sad...😢

Bei 1:50 muß es natürlich statt dreier Peilsender drei Peilempfangsstationen heißen, die entlang der Küste stationiert sind, um den Havaristen einzupeilen. Danke für das Einstellen dieser schönen Dokumentation.

Magnífica transmison

To me, almost certainly it was sent with a straight key. I use both straight keys and a Vibroplex; the length of the dits in the transmission has variation that you don't have with a Vibroplex bug (its dits are very consistent) but is common with a straight key. And at that speed, sending good 3:1 dah-to-dit ratio code on a Vibroplex is very, very challenging; typically the dahs are much elongated, giving the familiar "swing" characteristic of most Vibroplex operators. Also, a Vibroplex could easily be disabled on a swaying/lurching/etc. table, whereas a hand key can be easily operated in unusual attitudes (even held in one hand and keyed with the other). So generating code that good on a Vibroplex on a sinking ship, is highly doubtful in my view. Amazing recording,. That was some amazing sending..... 73, AI5QA

Just watched the news broadcast out of New York. The ships musician and his wife lost everything on the ship AND came home to a house that had been burgled.

Nice

I can only hope to be half as good. 73 WP4TGK

I just had the honor of meeting Mr. David N1EA it’s like meeting a living enciclopedia.

True CW art....

This is good code practice

вы не включайте вторую пленку, я синалы с первой принимаю )))- учусь ))

Triste ricordo 😩

I loved the KDM sideswiper. Came across it on the russian-built ships in the 70s. Made sending OBS messages a lot less tedious. I liberated one and have it now in a transport museum.

Been using a ST key for 69 years. Thanks for the video. fm Pete, WA2JMG

I was Radio Cadet/2nd R/O then R/O with Houlder Brothers (UK) 1974 to 1983. Think I managed to work every one of the UK's MF stations GKR GND GCC GKZ GNF GNI GLD GIL GLV GPK Happy days!!

Nice speed 26 WPM… like the agc action as well… sounds great.

No mention of Portishead Radio (GLK/GLA) a famous British HF maritime station, maybe they didn't work on 500KHz? Great video just the same, long live the A1A emission...

Thank you for this! I was an RO ....for but a brief moment in VK land. fantastic that this history lives on....and this CW knowledge! 73 de VK2AOE.
