An interesting, obviously hoax, communication was overheard on the Melbourne Radar frequency last night approx 2230. Person came on frequency announcing a Mayday with some less that glamorous words used. Other aircraft on frequency were queried re ops normal.
Exchange can be heard on the archived liveatc.net feed link below, relevant section is approx 22mins 50secs into the recording.

Anyone know what became of it, or if those sort of transmissions can be traced any way?
