I used to work in a warehouse when I was a youth. Also working there was an old man who was our cleaner. Nobody used to pay him respect because he was old and a cleaner. People just ignored him. One time I sat down with him at dinner and got to know him. He was a morse operator in WW2. I started looking at him differently after that. The speed at which those operators work is mind boggling, and I have nothing but respect for those who have done it. From that point on I looked up to him.

Yes, the Titanic used both "S.O.S" and "C.Q.D" because the senior wireless operator, 25 year old John George "Jack" Phillips, was sinding the "C.Q.D" signal, but while in the process, his assitant operator, 22 year old Harold Sydney Bride, told him to "Send S.O.S, it's the new call, and it may be your last chance to send it!" Harold said jokely. Oh and by the way, Jack Phillips sent this distress call. Sadly, Phillips died but Bride lived. Google their names for more info on how they died.

@howardkevinm
It is documented that Titanic used both "SOS" and "CQD" during the course of the distress.

The waveform display is from an old program, Cool Edit Pro.
