contacts wid other continents (DX) works fine in SSB and mostly in CW (SchurrKey at left knee)

General Radio Discussion / Re: "Radios are not safe" (Malaysian 777 loss)

« on: March 13, 2014, 1113 UTC »

If someone wants to know better informations pse go to the wall street journal.
They are having an well known articel abt all the needed informations and also
abt the hfdl datas received by the engine manifacturer.
The hf radios working fine - u can receive voice and acars datas, for example with ur
computer ohnly,  when using PC-HFDL and TWENTE SDR.
As i predicted minutes / hours and days after the first missing news, there must be
more infos via HFDL either the airline or the engine manufacturer, now four or five
days late, this datas comming up and show us that the aircraft is / can be /
hundreds of miles away from the last vhf contact.
I hpe that original HFDL telegrams will be published.
In the meantime there is a vy small hpe for the people.
