    Should we be celebrating illegal activity?

    Not sure, my examiner was Mike Grimes and he worked out of Barnes.

    The fellow writing his request here on QRZ is using the callsign K1YTG. The supposed owner of that callsign, as looked up here is NORMAN GREENE, yet this fellow has signed his name as
    Les Kinney. Mr. Kinney, please explain this discrepancy. I find it odd as well that you wish to jump on the Amelia Earhart bandwagon, and toot your horn.

    Actually the proposed experiment, if signals are NOT heard, would not be conclusive.

    I read that the aircraft transmitters had no harmonic suppression, so it would be possible that harmonics in the higher HF range could have been able to propagate considerable distances.

    You're only about the fourth person to point this out.


    Not odd at all. This guy is all over the internet as an Amelia Earhart "researcher" for at least the past several years.

    Once again, I understand. I as well am intrigued by the mystery surrounding her flight, but have no desire to consider myself a self described expert.

    Lots of things in life are illegal!!! Not coming to a full stop at a stop sign or ignoring the NO TURN ON RED sign. Going 60 in a 55 Zone!!
    If I was arrested for every little thing I did outside the law, I'd be spending ETERNITY in Jail!!!
    But who is really being harmed by this??
    In fact, I think it is downright Fascinating!!!! I hope they issue QSL cards for Reception reports.
    In fact, I would bet big bucks that NO ONE AT THE FCC gives a RATS HINDQUARTERS about this, other than the curiousity if they can hear them too!!!
    SO MUCH ADO about nuttin!!! NO ONE CARES, except a few crusty old codgers with thier panties in a bunch!!!

    Sheesh!

    I thought that the original SOS calls had circled around the multiverse and were being heard through some timey-wimey black hole portal! Imagine my disappointment.

    You're assuming a lot. With the exception of your comments here I have read nothing in this thread that suggests that it would be an illegal activity.
