Rescue more than 40 & 30 years ago

Hagenuk RMGKS 65 (built 1961) lifeboat emergency transmitter for 500, 8364 kHz (telegraphy)
and 2182 kHz (telephony) and receiving at 500/2182 kHz only. The antenna was a 7.5m long vertical whip. You'll need a lot
of power during an emergency situation to turn the crank for the 18V generator!

DEBEG EPIRB 7520 (built 1976) as transmitter for 2182 kHz, self floating and self transmiting
with 3W in A2 mode. Should enable SAR aircrafts, helicopters and coast stations to locate the ship or persons by radio
direction finding but the system was not effective during the MV "Muenchen" desaster in December 1978
