I'm picking them up at about S-7 here in S.E. Kansas. It's been quiet
the last couple of minutes.

Interesting. Halifax military contacted Rescue 317 with the message "Do
not jump. Repeat: do not jump." They've also got some sort of phone
patch going on with a flight surgeon.

I spoke too soon: now Halifax military says "Sartec jump approved"

This is starting to sound not so much like a vessel in distress as an
illness or injury on board the Chiquita. Rescue 317 is trying to secure
permission for the Chaquita to go direct to St. John's Newfoundland.
