Default Re: Burning your bux- Helicopter

It was clearly NJSP, NYPD runs on these calls all the time. I was on the boat inside the Hook and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING was on VHF 16. So you're right I did not hear anything on 16. Not a single Pan Pan for anything in that area. That's what Pan Pan is for. Perhaps the USCG radios were all broken? Or I should search the internet?

And I have never seen the NJSP helicopter in that area on any search in the three decades I've run on mayday calls and actually pulled people out of the water.

And the bizarre search area ran from the ocean included the Navesink River Oceanic Bridge area? Perhaps because the article says he went missing the day before?

I guess you can't rely on Ch 16? My bad. I thought that's what it was there for.
