We know where Amelia Earhart ended up...The island of Nikumaroro..Her call for help was heard in St.Petersburg Florida by Betty Klenck Brown..There is a video about this and Emelia described her surroundings and about the ship wreck where she was..That lady that heard this reminds me of myself..I was always wondering if any search planes were sent out..I know I have heard things on hf and never found out who they were..Like the time I heard on 8mhz"we are taking on gunfire..reply shut down all electrical systems...That was it nothing ever again..This hobby is so great..73
