Post by: ChrisSmolinski on July 23, 2016, 1556 UTC

Coast Guard looking for source of fake mayday calls from Annapolis. Cost pinned at $500K.

The Coast Guard requests the public’s assistance in locating a hoax caller who made 28 false distress alerts since July of 2014.

All calls were determined to have originated from the Annapolis, Maryland, area between Loretta Heights and Admiral Drive along 450/West Street and involved the same male voice transmitting over VHF-FM marine radio channel 16.

Sounds a little bit like a fella from Norfolk I used to to know. He claimed there were all sorts of things wrong with him.

I wonder if his bass boat would be up to the trip?
