SAR comms heard on 5717
 

I just heard Halifax military talking about a vessel called the
Chaquita. It's apparently in distress.

Halifax military just informed Rescue 317 that there's a life raft on
board as well as a VHF radio. I'm not reading Rescue 317 very well from
my location in Brooklyn.

Steve

It's a four person life raft and the mast of the vessel--the
Chaquita--is approximately 50 feet.

Jeez, I just tuned to 5717 again and they're talking about a flight
surgeon having to make some "determination"....sounds bad.

Steve

This is a BIG country. Which part are you in?

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

See above. Brooklyn, NY

That would explain why it is SO weak I can't quite copy it here in San
Jose...

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.

Steve

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