98th Anniversary of the Titanic Disaster!
From 8am Saturday April 10th until 5pm Sunday April 11, the call sign WØS
will be operating from the steps of the Titanic Museum in beautiful
downtown Branson Missouri.
This event will commemorate the heroic efforts of Harold McBride and John “
Jack†Phillips as they sat at the Marconi radio in the Titanic sending the
first ever SOS. Jack perished while continuing to send the SOS. Harold was
rescued and went on to operate the radio on the ship Carpathia until it
reached dock. Thanks to their efforts, 706 people were rescued from the
Titanic when that mighty ship sank.
Most contacts will be via phone, but there will be several amateurs
operating with CW as they participate in this historic event.
