You may find the SWOP Journal interesting. There is a good
deal in it about radio in the Alaskan fishing fleet.

This was a huge fleet. The old Federal Radio Commission
bulletins list many ships and shore stations belonging to Libby
McNeil and Libby and others.
Fishing boats were allowed to continue using obsolete spark
transmitters long after they were banned from other types of ships.
I love stories like yours, thank you for posting it.

Oh, what the heck, while I'm in story mode ... I know there are
some amateur radio folk here that may find this interesting ...
