5717 usb
 

It's 2222 utc now. I've been listening to this frequency on and off for
about an hour. Seems to be a Canadian military frequency and there's
some sort of rescue operation afoot. I'm following a series of
exchanges between "Halifax military" and "Rescue 323". Might be worth
monitoring.

Yes, it's a primary Canadian SAR frequency.

will be landing with 29K lb. fuel. plane in trouble? military
test runs? Halifax military 6 to s9 here, W.PA. Rescue 323,

Yes, getting it OK here in northern Ohio. They've got a phone patch
going on between 323 and RCC. She's asking if there's oxygen on board
the vessel.

Sounds to me like Rescue 323 is making an inquiry for Rescue 906 who wants to
know if there is oxygen onboard a vessel, and mentioning something about a
patient.

Halifax military (male operator) coming in loud and clear. Rescue 323
(female operator) very weak, though understandable. (Southern New
Jersey, AOR AR7030 Plus, Wellbrook ALA 330S)

Something evidently has happened aboard a boat. They are going to see
if there is oxygen aboard it, though they say it is highly unlikely.

Might want to keep listening.

Wow, you guys don't mess around!

Halifax military has been having a lot of trouble reading Rescue 323.
I'm going to continue monitoring this frequency to see what develops.
It's been interesting so far.

Steve

Hmmm. According to Halifax military there is oxygen on board the vessel
and the patient has been on oxygen for several hours already.

Can only hear Halifax here (St. Paul, MN) on SP-600 with 60ft random
wire.

By the way....thanks for the notice about the rescue. Right now, I can
hear 323 quite well...she's changed freqs to 11187....I can barely make
her out.

Rescue 323 just said switching to 11187 at 2324. Calling Halifax on 11187.

I'd monitor both freq's as they seem to be having propagation problems.

Interesting to note that I do not see 11187 on the Canadian list of frequencies,
however that is a frequency in use by the US Navy in the past.

you for putting this up on the group. this is what's
cool about having your radios in the computer room...

I'm also monitoring 6715 as that is another Canadian SAR freq., just to see if
anything comes up there.

RCC = Rescue Coordination Centre

For anyone who may not be aware of that.

No, I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the info. Seems quiet now, after
she changed freq's to 11187. I could hear her OK on 5717, but Halifax
couldn't make her out. And I had thought, on her earlier transmission
regarding the 29k pounds of fuel upon landing....I thought she was
saying 29 thousand pounds of fuel upon landing at "Greenland".

Here is some info about Halifax:

Here's a little bit of background. Before I made my initial post to
r.r.r., Rescue 323 was in route to Hibernia. Perhaps the Hibernia oil
platform? Halifax military was asking Rescue 323 if she needed him to
call Hibernia. Rescue 323 replied that she did not need this, at which
point Halifax military said he'd want for her call back.

A short time later, Rescue 323 came back to say that she would not be
proceeding to Hibernia because someone else's time to the scene would
only be around 30 minutes. So, she would instead be going to St. Johns.
Rescue 323 then asked, "What are your intentions for Rescue 323? Do you
want us to wait in St. Johns or proceed to Greenland?" Halifax military
replied, "Go to St. Johns, land and we'll reassess the situation."

This is when the question the conversation started about how much fuel
she had on board, and by this time the rest of you were listening.

I didn't hear that first part, but it does make sense now that Rescue
323 was planning (at least) to land at Greenland. When she said 29
thousand pounds of fuel on board upon landing, well ... that's just a
lot of fuel. I don't know too much about their choppers or fixed wing
aircraft; but I had suspected she might have been in a C130 aircraft
(and the website dxAce submitted here later pictured a C130 aircraft).
I don't know of any chopper that can hold that much fuel...especically
fuel that's "remaining" after a flight.

I'll bet this is what it was all about:
