Thank you for your article. It is nicely done, and tells the radio operators' story from a different viewpoint than I usually see.

@DAB, I've seen a picture of that memorial, and I think it is particularly poigniant.

In North America, Field Day is the fourth full weekend of June (in case any amateur radio operators are planning a visit).

The National Geographic TV show did an excellent piece on both the radio operators and the other engineers aboard the Titanic.

Did you know that they erected an "Engineers" memorial in Ireland? It honors all the engineers who stayed at their posts to keep the ships lights and electricity going up to the very end.

They also did some era type builds on the hull, boilers, furnishings and a rebuilt period Marconi radio. It was very well done, look for it on your local listings. They usually run these types of shows for about 30 days.
