Excerpt from " Bill Hall Remember His Early Years " - October 18, 2005

 

Harry George (Bearded Scot) - Was the R.O. who accompanied the F.C.C. foreman opening up new airstrips/Sites. He had some hair-raising experiences and on one occasion when they were dismantling a temporary site. The other operator, Art Latreille was up the mast when it fell with him holding on - he was badly injured. Harry had seen a ship on the horizon that morning. He had the presence of mind to have noted that the old Marconi LTT4 transmitter had a 500KC Xtal in it, left from its by-gone days. He managed to load the transmitter on 500 Kcs and called the ship and what he described as a miracle occurred - the ship replied. It turned out to be a U.S. Naval ship with a helicopter and Art Latrielle was air lifted out. As you know, the chance of any ship being in those waters was remote. Art recovered and worked at Leitrim.
