Message: Joined Decca (OPD)In 1961 but worked most of the time with Decca Survey after it was set up by Ian Thompson. I worked all over the world initially on Hifix then Seafix and Trisponder plus a brief spell with underwater section. Finished up as Chief Engineer DSOL in Bahrain for 7 years. I left Decca and joined the oposition ONI for a couple of years before going freelance. I am now retired and living in Suffolk and I would love to hear from any old "Decca Deadlegs."

Message: In my late fathers effects I found a hand held device marked 'Seafix', patent number 787653, British made. Large dial marked 200-400KHz, small knob marked 'sensitivity', small rotary switch 'BC', 'NAV', and same again + 'LAMP'. Is it of any interest to you? I could send pic's if you want.

Message: Wonderful website, clear and concise. just to say thankyou for all the effort put in! I am a regular listener to the longwave and low frequency bands, where Loran C, Datatrak and the like are regularly heard. This is the only decent summary of Datatrak on the web!!
Again, Thankyou.
