And, if i recall correctly,  the Captain of the Anderson, after making it safely to Lake Superior's Whitefish Bay volunteered to go back out into "the worst seas I've ever seen"  (35 foot waves and 80 mile gales) and see if he could provide assistance at the last known location of the Fitz but the corporate heads of the Anderson's owners refused permission , correctly I think since there would be nothing that could be done as the Fitz went down so fast they never got off an SOS.
Amazing courage nonetheless, though.

General Radio Discussion / Re: FCC Confirms Huge Fine Against Radio Impacto 2
« on: December 21, 2023, 0227 UTC »
You're right, JP.   Having spent 45 years in loss mitigation, asset management and paralegal debt collection I can tell you that the 1st rule of debt collection is not how much is owed, its how much can you get?  First the plaintiff (in this case the FCC) has to get a judgment against the defendant to prove in court that the debt is legally owed.  The defendant has to be served with a subpoena (good luck finding them) . If they successfully serve them they probably won't show up in court . The FCC can  then get a default judgment which will probably be worthless because the defendants are long gone.  It makes zero sense to spend the money to collect on this debt.  But then again , it IS the Federal government so.........

I did a paper on the Fitz back in 1980 - fascinating saga.  I hope EF radio went QRT  for the last time at 7pm CST on November 10th.  That would have been the ultimate cosmic irony.

Inexpensive radios, no licensing and unenforceable rules.   Geez, what could possibly go wrong?   :D
