DXpedition KL7RRC/p sent “SOS” signal
Info from QRZ.com Forum:
Guys – heart attack with member KL7RRC/P team – they need help.
Freq 14264.0 Phone 9 074874586 (number is incorrect)
de RZ3FW
– (IMHO) —
This is so strange news. KL7RRC Team has a “SPOT” device and in case of emergency they can send “SOS” signal over the SAT.
A lot’s of messages circulated at “QRZ.com” around this accident.
Any explanations?
Thanks
