500 kHz in Europe, the Summer of 1974

Описание к видео 500 kHz in Europe, the Summer of 1974

Sorry for the tacky powerpoint slides but thought it was worth getting this remarkable audio document up on Youtube.

These are recordings made by Arthur Goodnow, W1DM (SK), of 500 kHz in the Summer of 1974. It is incredible to realise just how recently 500 kHz was a major artery of international maritime communication and morse code the lifeblood that pumped through it. When I was first studying to become a radio ham in 1991, the frequency was silent but there was still some HF CW left. Now all gone: "Appelait tous. C'est notre dernier cri avant notre silence éternel."
