Welcome to the radio-officers group, Sten-Eric, what a beautiful first
message.
What a dramatic story - all of it - and I wish I could speak to the
men who went to get the blood, the surgeon of your ship, and the crew
of the C-130 that dropped the three parcels of blood - all amazing
seamanship on everyone's part.
In the radio room the work in such events starts earliest of all, and
finishes latest of all - with the XXX messages, change of route
messages by master, and on a PAX ship like yours, additional messages
to coordinate arrival and on going transportation.
Maybe some one of these days some of our Coast Station people will
detail some of the antenna equipment used for long range radio-
telephony - I know that in the USA AT&T's stations WOO (NJ), WOM (FL)
and KMI (CA) had large rhombics for both receive and transmit - they
had them roughly every 30 degrees around the compass.
Anyway - there are good stories and good documentation to come forth
men and women - this is YOUR history - these are YOUR message
archives.

Hello Sten Eric,
An interesting story and well written too...
At my radio school, we lerned QSQ by remembering the English slang for
doctor, "quack".
So QSQ was QUICK SEND QUACK

Hej S-E
Det där tycker jag platsar i QTC! Har inte läst det
förut.
Kolla med Pelle om han godkänner en sån
publicering.

Hej B-A
Glädjande att du gillar artikeln. Efter OK från Pelle
för en 5-6 år sedan har jag fått artikeln publicerad i 7-8
tidningar. Senast som en helsida i G-P.
Jag hade även med den i QTC för ett antal år
sedan, men det missade tydligen du ! Sedan jag fått den
översatt till engelska har intresset vaknat i England och USA.
Många med den "rätta" bakgrunden uppskattar den
verkligen.
