[MilCom] RESCUE 338 - ELT Search over Manitoba in progress

[Rob Berezowski]

Greetings everyone,

>From Regina, heard on 123.8, RESCUE 338 working with Winnipeg Centre. They 
were doing an ELT signal search, somewhere over Manitoba. From the 
conversation and the clearances, the location was somewhere in southern 
Manitoba. All times UTC, evening of Apr 8/08 local date, Apr 9/08 UTC:

0410 UTC - RESCUE 338 requested and received a block altitude FL100 to 
FL150 within a 30 mile radius of a point (which I did not hear). Winnipeg 
Centre informed they were free to maneuver at their discretion.

0412 UTC - RESCUE 338 requested and cleared to FL090, and they will 
maintain their present heading.

0418 UTC - RESCUE 338 requested and cleared to FL060, again on their 
present heading.

0420 UTC - RESCUE 338 handed off to Winnipeg Arrivals 119.5. I lost them 
at this point.

0427 UTC - RESCUE 338 handed back to Winnipeg Centre, now at 5000 feet. I 
cannot tell which sector they are working on, since I am hearing this 
through the Regina remote transceiver on 123.8. I'm guessing they are now 
flying westward.

0433 UTC - RESCUE 338 cleared to heading 240.

0434 UTC - RESCUE 334 advised by Winnipeg Centre that the Rescue 
Coordination Centre wants to talk to RESCUE 338, on the HF radio


That's all I've heard up until now. If I hear anything further, I will 
post it. I don't have HF capability, perhaps someone else can hear them.

I am also assuming RESCUE 338 is a CC-130 aircraft.


Regards,

Rob
Regina, Saskatchewan
