Interesting comms last night - MEL
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?

One often ears such rubbish on the R/T, often on 121.5 to!
With transceievers readily avaliable anybody can play merry hell on any freq.
It would be great to have some sort of technology that links all transmissions to its origin, licensed radios only.
As`wesky' said, sad, very very sad!

On a lighter note....at 30:25 an aircraft on descent reports (with hesitation), "...received the info".
ATC at 30:29 "..Information X-Ray".
Aircraft at 30:32: "Thanks...I forgot to write it down"

sounds like it was broadcast on a discreet frequency that the controllers aren't on. Live ATC scanners get every freq in range. Sounds like who ever gave the person a serve was out of range of the scanner.

Consequently, the plain signal will still go out over the channel and annoy the P#ss out of all and sundry. Knobs.

Ancient technology
Our VHF radio system is about sixty years old, and very crude.
Fifty years ago the english had VHF direction finders in towers so they could get an instant bearing on a radio transmission. I cannot understand why we have not used them.

Alice Springs Tower had one. Was taken out circa 1995. Apprarently it was blamed as the source of interference on a local AM band radio station.
Can't understand how a RX can do this but anyway it was removed.
It was very handy, especially when aircraft called inbound on the 180 Radial, and turned up entering the ciruit from the North. When it was taken out, we used to ask these guys what their departure AD was.
