Hi all,
Unfortunately, I can’t play the video (not available in my location).
BTW, I sent SOS in the real situation once. I worked as radioofficer on m/s
Mir, callsign OLGP. It was in 1988. I was 25. We drifted on the Baltic, close to
Ruegen. It happened that the first officer fell aboard. It would be more correct
to send XXX for man overboard (or PANPAN in voice), but the master commanded me
to send SOS. About 20 ships helped us in the search and rescue operation. With
all of them I had communication on 500 kHz (no QSY onto the working fqs). I was
the controlling station of all the traffic. Finally, in about one hour, one
german military ship found him. Unfortunately it was too late. He was still
alive, but didn’s survive.

Hi all
Interesting video of the actual scene very clear and reference to CQD rather than SOS.
And video of Marconi himself.
Fascinating!
