NRUI / Amelia Earhart 6925 USB 0355 UTC 04 Jul 2016
« on: July 04, 2016, 0400 UTC »
Hearing CW at times from NRUI.  YL stating 'This is Amelia Earhart' @ 0355 and then more cw.
CW with weather reports, and then more voice from Earhardt.
Seems to be a re-creation of the Amelia Earhart comms before her mysterious disappearance, which occurred on July 2, 1937.
0400 - NRUI Id by OM and replies by Amelia.  NRUI was the callsign for USCG Itasca at the time.
