Not to bust anyone's bubble.. but when I operated as a commercial Marine CW
operator at a Maryland Coast station WMH, I stood sole man watches.
It was normal to have to monitor multiple radios on multiple bands
simultaneously AND while working a ship with traffic to also have to keep an
ear on the remaining receivers in case anyone called while I was working
traffic. They had 500 kHz, 6/8/12/16/22 MHz. running at the same time.
So I did SO6R! <big grin!>
(and we won't count having the listenfor the telephones, telex, and TWX)
Those were the REALLY fun days. I miss them!
