A US NBC Network news reporter & cameraman just flew aboard a RNZAF P-3K




maritime patrol aircraft operated by 5 Squadron, active in the search


for


MAH777 & the footage aired on Saturday evening 22 March.




One scene showed a console in the mission section of the aircraft and


the


mission freqs were clearly visible:




123.450 --VHF


123.100 -- COMM1G


156.800 -- COMM2G


281.200 -- COMM3


15962.0 -- HF1 SC


22868.0 -- HF2


[blank] -- DF




Time on the display was 0617Z & I assume that was 22 March.

Comms heard here on 15962 at 0710z 23 March.




At 0901z, giving weather in the search area. Either NZ or AUS accent.




One callsign was Rescue 795.




At 0953z Rescue 795 giving position report to the control station. Both sides


coming in well.




I'm using the Drake R8 and the 200' wire which runs W-E which is giving me


better performance than the 70' N-S wire.




Short path to Perth Australia is 11040 miles, long path is 13820.




I'm not certain at this point whether the aircraft are operating out of Perth or

Canberra. But, I did hear Rescue 795 giving a position report as something along

the lines of 44 degrees South, and Perth is apparently about 32 degrees South, at

least according to the AZMAP program.







I wonder if they'll really find anything, or if the aircraft even crashed into


the ocean at this point. A lot of suspicious circumstances. But I'm keeping an


open mind.

Perth is almost 2000 miles away from Canberra . Must be on the West Coast or somewhere nearer the general search area.
