Piloto Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) Will try to reach Brian on 14,346 KHz at around 5pm EDT from my plane at about 8,000ft. I had tried to reach him before but no luck, I heard others calling him with no luck either. Besides propagation Brian may be listening to the Oceanic ATC and maybe occasionally listening on the ham bands. If the HF radio is set to scan mode there is a greater chance of contact. On one occasion I was able to reach Carol Ann Garret on the NY oceanic ATC HF frequency but only to say hello (no chatting on ATC frequencies). https://www.faasafety.gov/files/events/EA/EA39/2013/EA3951363/Around_the_World_For_ALS.pdf Oceanic ATC Frequencies http://hamuniverse.com/aerofreq.html Try listening the Honolulu Volmet to asses propagation.

HRM Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Is he still planning on going to Wisconsin? All he needs now is complete the loop with his origin port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piloto Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Called Brian today on 14,346 KHz but no luck. I think there was no signal propagation between the Pacific and Florida since I could not hear Honolulu Volmets either. José Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he fly through Russian airspace on this journey? If so, no one from the Trump administration should reach out to congratulate him on his accomplishment or there will be a new congressional inquiry and more claims of Russian collusion.
