--- Quote from: East Troy Don on November 10, 2020, 0056 UTC ---I did a research paper on the wreck of the mighty Fitz back in the early 80's - fascinating story with a very mysterious ending.
Ring the bell 29 times November 10th.
Rest in Peace, Gentlemen.

I get the willies every time I hear the radio transmission between the Captain of the Andersen and the USCG when he says "the last time we heard from the Fitzgerald they said they we're 'holding their own'".

If anyone is on Facebook, there's also this that's happening later today.

Back in 2015 I received a reply from Edmund Fitzgerald Radio that included an eQSL, the lyrics to one of the songs played "Shoals of Caribou" by Russell R. Scott, AND a studio copy of the show. If the op is still around somewhere, I hope you don't mind me posting a link to that studio copy. :) The audio is crystal clear and every bit as chilling as when I heard it via shortwave.

Very nice. I got an eQSL from the 2017 broadcast, which I had to catch on the K3FEF web SDR in PA (though I was excited to hear it under the noise here) but that was all. Thanks for sharing.
