Explore "Jack Heaton, Wireless Operator" by A. Frederick Collins on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
As I have said, I was in the coastwise trade for nearly a year, and could _savvy_ anything in English or Spanish, Morse or Continental, that the old-time operators were able to send. I had sent and received messages of every description and for every conceivable purpose.
Why, once a brother operator and I married a maid who was on board my ship to a man somewhere in Panama by wireless. Of course there was a minister at each end to help the ceremony along but it was we operators who really did it with our wireless sets.
