Likely a certain Earhart obsessed ham trying to establish contact with his Aunt Amelia, Boombox. We humor him, he's harmless. That spark gap transmitter he made out of a diesel generator is something to behold.

It had to be expected after his old girlfriend Zsa Zsa died a few days back. We hired a guy with a bulldozer to rock the trailer, but we can't get him to roll out the door. He's probably still swollen from Thanksgiving.

I tuned to the third harmonic of the 6MHz qrg at the appointed times and got nothing. I want my money back.

Some people reported hearing the transmissions. So either they imagined it (like the person in Kentucky way back when) or someone was spoofing them.

If you can get that feller out of the trailer you can wrestle him for it.

Personal hygiene phobia will keep me from doing any wrasslin with trailer park denizens. Otherwise, it'd be interesting to see the proplab or voacap stimulations for the time frame of the incident. Surely we have the solar digits for 1938 or whenever this thing took place?
