Just started hearing them. Some sort of rescue operation in progress.
Don't know the details yet, but I'll be listening!


Last thing I heard was Halifax Military instructing someone out in the
field to make radio contact again before going into the water.


Is it 5717 or 5718? My old CFL shows 5718 as a Canuck freq.


I was hearing them on 5717, though they've gone silent for the last
few minutes.


OK, I've both freqs on now. 5717 seemed pretty weak, but then it is mid
afternoon.


Just heard Halifax military talking to Rescue 320. I had clear copy on
Halifax military but no copy at all on Rescue 320, so I'm still not
clear about what's going on. Halifax M. said it would be in contact
with Rescue 320 again in a few minutes. Someone up North might be
better situated to hear all of this.
