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.


I've Halifax in here good on 5717. Not sure who was on there so
weak earlier.


Heard Halifax military giving data about weather / sea conditions
at destination to Rescue 320, and while 320 is audible now I'm
still not able to copy. Halifax Military also having trouble
copying 320.- Hide quoted text -


If anyone's curious about how things sound on my end, you can go here
for a sound bite:

Sounds pretty good except for a motorboat sound. Was that from the radio
to computer connection? What radio did you use?

I was using the TenTec RX-320D because the software makes it so easy
to record audio. The motorboat sound appears when I begin processing
the audio through my computer soundcard, which I have to do if I want
to use any sort of DSP filtering. The sound is only temporary, though,
and disappears after a minute or two. Not exactly sure what causes it,
but several people have told me that it happens with some soundcards
and not with others.
