Ok this will be my last off topic post on the Marconi Room. Channel 19 has always been the truckers channel. Beside smokie reports there is some good info on that channel like road conditions up ahead. Especially valuable the rare times when the interstate ices up. Treasure Island...I knew it pretty well. When I was assigned temp duty to the M.A.A. I used to have to take prisoners from the ship to stand their Court Martial's there. It was the Navy's legal center for the area. I did not like that duty at all but you do what they tell you. I understand the Navy sold T.I. to San Fransisco a few years back along with a lot of other naval facilities... Alameda N.A.S. ect. Alameda was my ships home port. I don't think the bay area has anything left to handle the big ships but I don't know for sure.
On Topic: Yes it was good they had tech knowledge to repair it. I know they were supposed to wait for the repair techs but do you or anyone know if the Titanic and or other ships carried a supply of spare parts for the radio? Or if that became standard after the disaster?
