Jack Binns on YouTube

Earlier this year Radio Amateurs around the world commemorated the 100th anniversary of Marconi Wireless operator Jack Binns sending the radio distress call CQD when the RMS Republic was rammed.

Six videos of the event from the Ham Radio Today show are now available on YouTube.

The RMS Republic was rammed by the SS Florida on 23 January 1909 and was the first occasion on which the 'CQD' distress call was sent by Wireless. It resulted in over 1500 lives being saved.

These six YouTube videos are from the Ham Radio Today show which is broadcast on the Massachusetts based Braintree Community Access & Media Television (BCAM-TV).
