[NJARC] The girl who heard Amelia's last radio transmissions

[Pete]

I looked at the web page and saw new information for me. It wasn’t long wave - which have used a trailing wire antenna (which would have been in the water) but rather 3mhz and a wire on the roof of the plane. Even with Low power I can see reception would certainly be possible even at that distance.
