I heard that the Titanic was equipped with the lastest Radio technology, and it's distress call were clear beeps among the radio transmissions from the others ships that have much more noise and creaking in their frequency, but the Titanic's signal stood out because it was very clear
@@billbombshiggy9254 maybe i got it wrong, but i remember a documentary telling about the clear beeps. And what else you would have used for Morse if you say it ain't beeps ?
Very ironic that the Titanic was sending distress signals saying Come Quick! Distress! Save Our Souls! And just a mere few hours before that had told another ship’s wireless operator to “shut up! Can’t you see that I’m busy ole’ boy?” When the ole boy was only trying to warn them and other ships in the area of deadly iceberg fields and growler ice.
It wasn't that simple. You have to remember that at this point Philips had been up for what something like 40 hours at this point repairing the Marconi and catching up on messages. The Californian came in light a bolt of thunder in his ear while straining to hear Cape Race. You'd be pissy too and Evans himself stated he wasn't offended because he himself made a mistake in transmission failing to prefix the MSG to the ice warning so Philips presumed it was idle chatter. Not that it mattered anyway because of the failure to properly address the warning it wouldn't have been rushed to the captain anyway and they had already gotten several warnings. Lightoller himself gave little attention to that particular warning and instead was more upset at not having been given the message from the Mesaba.
I am not sure, but I believe radio operators in the Swedish Armed Forces are still taught how to use Morse code - and I would assume it's the same among civilian operators as well.
Californian was within a 5-7 mile radius and continued to ignore the flares and calls from both the Titanic, Cape and other ships, the nearest ship was 50 miles away
U know what? The Californian captain was sleepy and didn't want to be bothered. He felt it was unsinkable and captain Smith crew is just panicking. Yep he must to have been tired from his voyage. He was so wrong for that. However captain Smith didn't fill the boats up because he just knew the Californian boat would get them. He felt it in his heart until 1 50am. Also those rich people were snobs. They were teaching the kids to be snobs also. Captain Smith should have let men go with the wives. Maybe 4 to a boat. U have to row the boats. That's a man type of job. He needed men. He should have not allowed them to speed the boat who cares if u are a day early? Wasn't the trip paid for in advance? So take ur time.

Only one other ship had as good radio tech as the Titanic at that moment, and she was 505 miles to the east-southeast of Titanic’s position
Infamously one of the nearby ships told Titanic to shut up (not during the sinking) because her signal was so loud.
Beeps didn't come around until WW2, so you absolutely heard wrong. It stood out because it was a powerful transmitter.

@@legitscoper3259 he's wrong, marconi radio began being used around 1900 for ships.
Well done Sir you are a pro! 73's.
If MGY were th call letters for the titanic. Then what were the call letters for the RMS Olympic?
For Olympic they were MKC until 1933 when it was changed to GLSQ
It wasn't pure CW it was the note from a rotary spark I loved the old one as it gives the idea of the sound

CQD THIS IS
The last message of Titanic was CQ.
@@KevinJhonson Then it would be THIS- and it could not make any sounds since it broke from the water pressure
@@kanderion5685 It was confirmed by the ships it was contacting that CQ was the last message.
It's actually
CQD CQD DE MGY
CQ

Morse code was last used in 1997
US coast guard and Navy still train and use it when radio silence is needed.

Raiden the cyborg yes because jack phillips insulted the californian
@@JayDeeDonuts an insult justifies ignoring a distress call that could have prevented anyone dying had it been responded to
Ok
Raiden the cyborg no if you look at the distress calls jack said keep out old man to the californian
@@JayDeeDonuts old man meant friend back then
@@JayDeeDonuts keep out meant I'm receiving a message shut up I need to listen, that doesn't justify ignoring 100s of dying people
the badly damaged abdoning ship part is new to me
I’ve seen many things about it
