Russian Female Ham Operators R3TM & R1BIG making waves from icebreaker Krassin (Callsign R1LK)

Ham Radio weekend in St.Petersburg with Maria R3TM. Part 1: the historic Icebreaker Krassin. Launched as the Svyatogor in 1916. She was the most powerful icebreaker worldwide. Krassin is very well known in Amateur Radio world: Umberto Nobile expedition to the North Pole was rescued by this icebreaker after the Russian Radio Amateur Nikolai Schmidt caught via home made HF radio station the S-O-S signal from distressed expedition.
Part 2 will be:
our visit to the Radio Museum,
how we heard the astronauts on 2 m band,
how we surprised the operators by taking turns working portable on the same frequency :-)

I was included in an invitation by senior crew with some Russian friends, to tour on a large Russian ice breaker that was berthed in St. John's, Newfoundland, in the late 1990s. It was extremely fascinating. The ship was HUGE.

[@YLRaisa]

WOW Great experience and nice memories. Congratulation!

[@woodybollox]

Hi raisa and Maria. Good to see you both out and about. Love the old radio gear. I had a AR88LF from ww2 that came from hms mercury still with the paper work. Used to listen for hrs when I was young in the 1980s. Shortwave bands were better in them days. Number stations etc. Anyway all the best. Glenn 2e0bvp.🤗

[@YLRaisa]

Glenn, the propagation is also improving now. Hopefully when we reach high levels. :)

This is so cool Raisa! I love ships. Its very nice inside the Bridge. I couldn't tell exactly what those horn shaped objects were for but I assume they were old school microphones? Or maybe they had no power and only used pipes to communicate to different locations of the ship?

[@YLRaisa]

Thanks and Yes, pipes to communicate ;-)

​@@YLRaisa Hi Raisa! Hey I was able to find the Ship by name on google maps and take a look around the town a bit. You seem very happy to be in ham radio I was just curious as to how you got interested? Might be a nice topic for another video unless you've already covered it of course.
