Amelia Earhart commemorative 6925

<< < (3/3)

Fansome:
The literature on people who have disappeared is really fascinating. There's Michael Rockefeller, Judge Crater, Amelia Earhart, Chris Smolinski, and a whole host of others. We all hope that someday their fate will be revealed, but, to be realistic, we will probably never know.

--- Quote from: Lex on July 03, 2012, 0050 UTC ---7/3/12, 6925 USB, 0045z: Right now, intermittent CW and "Hello, Itasca" voice transmissions for this annual show.  Only fair at the moment, hopefully will improve.
0059z: CW again, signal improving.
0100z: Woman's voice "...on the hour and half hour on 3105..."?  Rough copy due to heavy local RFI, but signal improving overall.
0108z: Woman's voice again calling Itasca, "KHAQQ out".
0111z: Man's voice replying, NRUI calling KHAQQ with weather report.
0116z: KHAQQ calling Itasca, "I am approximately 300 miles out..."
0120z: Woman's voice "I am approximately 100 miles out" after CW, followed by man's voice reply "We cannot take a bearing on you on this frequency... please transmit your signal on 500 kilocycles..."
0124z: Slight signal shift/drift from around 6924.9 to 6925 plus change.  CW peaking S5 here (with my receiver attenuator on to reduce local RFI).
0126z: Uh-oh, Amelia sounding panicky.  Pull up, Amelia, pull up!

--- End quote ---

Very faint CW first noted here on 6927 kc then very weak voice transmissions.  Coupled with the high static last night, it was difficult to make out anything intelligible.  Thanks to Lex for the fine report above.  It came in useful when reviewing my SDR recordings.  The only clear voice transmission that I heard was the OM telling her (in a terse voice) to QSY to 500 kc for a bearing at 0120 UTC.

Thanks for the interesting broadcast!
