I'm hearing one side of the conversation on 8983 in central Pennsylvania
with an
indoor wire antenna.

CAMSLANT Chesapeake talking to Rescue 1501. I can't hear the mobile unit
on my
Satellit 800; I'm going to try the RX-320. S3 static on the band.


VERY loud Signal

"Rescue1501"
" Was this the one survivor found on the life raft by captain Muskie"

I can hear both sides at about 20 over here in nw IL.. They just found a
raft with some survivors in it

Hear it fairly good here in Central Indiana on my Torus Tuner and DX-398.
Only heard one side though on 8983.
