[K3CAL] Bogus Distress Calls

[N3AE]

See http://wtop.com/maryland/2016/07/coast-guard-seeks-hoax-caller-whose-maydays-cost-500000-2/ 

Maybe an opportunity for the amateur radio community to help using Fox Hunting techniques. I'm not sure what marine frequency such calls would be made on, but if we had enough bearings from QTH's surrounding Annapolis, should be able to get close. 

Begs the question as to if the Coast Guard has asked for assistance by the FCC monitoring site in Columbia.
