Geez here is nearly every piece of information :

http://www.tighar.org/Projects...rt/HoovenReport.html

The only really interesting tidbit that stuck out on the charts of the radio messages for me is I think this message :

1130-1230/5 Navy Radio at Wailupe and SS. Moorby “281 – north – KHAQQ – be on – north – don’t hold – with us – much longer– above water – shut” voice on 3105 2


Is actually a part of this message :

2014 “We are on a line of position 157-337. Will repeat this message on 6210 kilocycles. Wait listening on 6210. We are running north and south.”

The first 4 digits being military time .

None of the messages received listed on these charts include a specific signal intensity , this is extremely out of character for a radio operator .

buy a desoto?


Yes. Harpo Marx would honk that message. DeSoto sponsered the Marx Brothers, which is why Harpo would honk that message.
