Hi Kazuhiko, The first video is one of the folks from the Antique Wireless Association in New York State. The museum was started in 1955 by two Kodak electrical engineers who were also hams. The second video is Ted Sinclair from Radio City in Chelmsford, England. That group is dedicated to the memory of Marconi's first wireless factory in Chelmsford. From the Youtube explanation: "A retired lorry driver who spent four years painstakingly recreating a stunning replica of the Titanic's wireless room, displayed it in the world's first wireless factory where the original SOS equipment was manufactured. Ted Sinclair put his splendid replica on show during Spring 2016 at what was Marconi's Hall Street Works (1898-1912) during its part conversion into apartments."
Marconi was ruthless and dishonest but most wont admit it, and no better than Sarnoff or several other industry titans (bandits) of the era. I agree that the radio recovery should proceed as a replica is of no more historical interest than say a Model T Ford body reproduction. At least there are still original T's available to guarantee the accuracy of the reproductions. Im glad to see the Tesla name making a wonderful return to prominence in several ways. Carl
Hi WA2LXB, Thank you for your polite explanation. It's very detailed. I respect you. Thank you for your continued support. Please let us know when you come to Japan. I want to see you. 73 JF1IRQ From Japan. ありがとう
The recovery team must have a compelling reason for a court to overrule the agreement to not remove items from the wreck. Apparently they're not selling the radio remains. I guess it will go to a museum somewhere. But, the recovery team can spend their money any way they want. Philosophic discussions about using money to feed the poor or to stop wars is not for this forum.
Hi Kazuhiko, I have been to many countries including South Korea and Philippines, and Japan is on my list of countries I would like to visit after I retire in 5 years or so. If we make definite plans I will notify you ahead of time and we can spend a day with you. Thank you! 73, Hugh-WA2LXB
Hi Hugh-WA2LXB America is great, but Japan is also great. There are many delicious things. Please contact us when you come to Japan For contact information, see my page on QRZ.com I have an email address. I am looking forward to seeing you. In October, there was a big amateur radio event in Japan It is Tokyo Big Sight. See you again 73 JF1IRQ From JAPAN さようなら (^-^)ゝ

To one "individual" out here who CLAIMED IT WOULD BE GRAVE ROBBING is a FOOL!!! Why? Because of where it lays and IT'S AGE very shorthly MA-NATURE will obliterate THE SITE ANYWAY!!! So it would behove whomever has the ability to salvage ANY ITEMS from the "TITANTIC" SHOULD DO SO BEFORE IT'S GONE!!! Besides the aged/bones of the unlucky passengers of said ship have LONG AGO BEEN SPREAD FAR AWAY BY OCEAN CURRENTS!!!
Umm, Titanic? Who Cares..... What I really want recovered is this Packard-Bell AR-851 last seen aboard the USS Minnow
The Titanic exhibit in Las Vegas is a respectful, moving experience. It didn't matter to me that it was in a casino or they charged admission. The artifacts and section of the hull on display brought me close to people that I will never meet or forget.
Amateur radio and the world will not be better off for robbing a gravesite. You could build an exact copy of this radio out of the best parts that money could buy and have a better museum display and spend less than a single day of what this expedition will cost. This entire project is useless and dangerous to all involved leave the dead alone. Phil-N4lne
You are graver robbers. The spirits of the dead that are on the ship will not let you complete your mission. Leave the ship alone. Bob - wa2aar
