A Useful Hobby

Dave is fond of listening to the short-wave bands on his radio. He likes looking for interesting foreign radio stations. When he finds a new station he writes down the details in a notebook and marks the place on the large map of the world. Now and then Dave's mother complains about the noise he makes and the other day his father turned off his radio because he was tired of the sounds that came from it.

However, not long ago Dave's hobby helped to save a person's life. Dave was looking for new stations between the 19 and 16 metre bands when he came across a very weak signal in Morse Code: "SOS ... SOS ... Mary Jane ... Position latitude 400 N, longitude 140 W ... Sinking fast ... SOS." A yacht, the Mary Jane, was in trouble in the Atlantic Ocean. Dave wrote down the details then called the police and gave them the information. The police informed the Navy and they sent a ship to save the man. The man wanted to reward Dave for helping him. So he gave Dave a new radio as a present. The new radio was larger and more powerful than the old one.
