"SEPIA" with MIMC shipstation 1960's
picture by ?
a standard and complete radio telegraph / telephone ships radiostation
as fitted by Marconi International Marine Company MIMC in the '60s
similar to the one fitted as the original station on British built
Dutch Shelltanker "SEPIA" PHKW
in its time, a very nice station to work with,
mainly because of
this powerfull main transmitter
the MIMC "Globespan"
crystal controlled
MF : CW MCW 275 watts 7 preset channels
IF : CW MCW AM 100 watts
HF : CW AM 400 watts 5 preset channels in 4,6,8,12,16 and 22 MHz marine bands
and those 2 good general purpose marine receivers,
the MIMC "Atalanta", being a pure luxury ,
frequency range 15 kHz to 28 MHz, in ten bands.
modes AM / CW / MCW
the only complete MIMC station i ever worked with.
very very nice, in its time.
Auto Keyer
would transmit a alarmsignal and/or complete distresscall
( the 12, four second dashes with 1 second spacing then SOS SOS SOS de PHKW )
This was repeated and followed by a 10 second dash for D/F homing purposes.
If left on and with the Emergency Transmitter flashed up, it will repeat this sequence every 14 minutes but without the 4 second dashes, until the radio reserve battery goes dead.
In this way, if abandoned, the ships radio station could automatically repeat the distress call.
and provide for homing signals.
Clever, handy, but i am very very glad never had to use this feature.
Lifeguard Auto Alarm
will ring a bell in the Radio Room, on the Bridge and at the Radio's Officers bunk
on the receipt of the auto alarm signal from another ship in distress
