SAR for MAH370
 
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.

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 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.

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.

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

Could be. The control point does not necessarily have to be where the aircraft are headquarted.

I got up a bit ago and did hear comms on 15962 again at 2350, not a real good level, but the aircraft are searching once
again.

According to the news at the top of the hour, the Malaysian Government has issued a statement that based upon INMARSAT
information, they have concluded that the flight did indeed go into the Indian Ocean.

Please keep all those people onboard the the flight in your thoughts, and let us hope that the flight recorders can be found to
determine what exactly happened.

Almost every communication in the world that is SSB uses upper sideband.

The notable exceptions are hams which use both (the practice is LSB
below 9mHz, USB above), BUT only 5mHz (which is USB) is regulated by law,
and over 50mHz both are routinely used.

The other exception is analog broadcast TV video. Analog TV audio is (was?)
FM except for France which used AM.
