Decoding it here on an old M-8000. Titanic sinking after hitting an iceberg

Here is a link for a screenshot (and I mean screenshot, a picture of my monitor) from the broadcast. The file is large so you can zoom in on it and read it. Decode wasn't great but you will be able to figure out most of it.

Appears to be a close reenactment of the CW traffic of the shore station and the ships in the area of the Titanic the night she sank.

0010Z S9 MCW. Been going for a little while. Have a ton of static crashes, but unlike usually, doesn't seem to be distracting.

Off now. Recorded it from 2359Z until the end.

Massive signal here at S9+25.  Seems off at 0036.
Kind of sobering and bone-chilling to listen and imagine what it would have like to experience the events of that night in person.

Would appreciate your QSL, and thanks!

HUGE steady S9+20 signal here, possibly the strongest AM pirate sig that I've heard here in this house with the R8. No fading, no static. I recorded it, but I don't have a CW decoder and I never learned to copy CW, so if I don't have any program details, but if Dit Dah Radio would like to have a recording to verify the report, I can e-mail it.

Please QSL...

6955 AM (rx in USB) SIO 434

Good signal & audio quality with little fade.  Don't know code, but dig the concept of recreating the CW feel of that historic event - very cool Dit Dah Radio!
