Ship's Radio Room Clock

What’s going on with these red and green sectors? What are these red dashes around the outside of the face? And, what does this all have to do with ships and radio?

A great video Greg. My Dad was a radio officer during WW2 and he would always check the time of each clock in the house.

I worked as a Ship's Officer in the 1980s and did hear that about clocks but had lost track of the details long ago. Thanks for a great piece of radio info.

That was a cool dive into a ship’s Radio room clock. Good job!

[@ShackingOff]

Thank you for the kind words. Sorry, I couldn't make my original idea happen where I throw Greg and a hollow-core door into the freezing Atlantic to demonstrate the dangers of the sea. It was probably for the better.

I spent many hours on watch listening to 2181, and channel 16 during the late 1980's and early 1990's while in the Coast Guard.

My, how things have changed. In your opinion, what device these days will generally yield the quickest emergency response in the Puget Sound and Gulf Island, B.C. region?

cool. i remember in my early radio formitive years hearing that all am broadcast band (540 kc to 1700 kc) along the coasts of the usa had to stop transmitting evry so often and listen for ships calling . this continued till 1970. i think in my prior life i was a ships radio man or shore side radio.

Please kill the distracting, annoying, foreground music. The narration is otherwise excellent I used to have several friends that had been maritime radio ops, at least two of them are gone
