Global Detection & Tracking any Aircraft Anywhere Anytime spots MH370

The "Weak Signal Propagation Reporter" (WSPR) has been used in combination with other tracking methods by Richard Godfrey to refine the initial path of flight MH370 in March 2014. That flight disappeared in the Indian Ocean and two extensive underwater searches were unable to locate it.

WSPR is a computer supported protocol developed by Physicist Joseph Taylor - most noted as a 1993 Nobel Physics award for work with pulsars.
WSPR uses weak (5w), narrow (about 6hz), 2-minute signals to create "trip wires" between the transmitter and any receivers.

Godfrey's report (Global Detection and Tracking of Aircraft as used in the Search for MH370) is posted here.

It is the basis for this AirlineRatings.com report.

"Global Detection & Tracking any Aircraft Anywhere Anytime" (GDTAAA) is software developed by Richard Godfrey. He used it to track early movements of MH370 until it began heading due south. He has not yet tracked it to the end of its flight, but extending the apparent last due-south leg of the flight to the "7th arc" (Inmarsat) would land you at 94E,34S.

February 17, 2021, aircraft debris, possibly from MH370 or a 777, washed up in South Africa bay.

New possible Malaysia Airlines MH 370 debris has been found in South Africa earlier this month but there has been no reaction from Malaysian officials.

According to wreck hunter, Blaine Gibson the debris was washed ashore in early February in Jeffreys Bay near Port Elizabeth, South Africa. (34°2′ S, 24°55′ E)

Earlier, debris has been found on Réunion at a beach in Saint-André. 20°57′38″S 55°39′02″E

Parts of the right wing and right stabilizer were found on the coast of Mozambique.

6hz?

That's a *huge* sign wave! I thought the lowest useful RF freq was 8hz? Mind you my radar and fire control days were more than 30 years ago and I haven't been updating.

6hz is the approximate bandwidth - not the transmit frequency.
I described it as "narrow".
It is used on bands from 30KHz to 30MHz (LF, MF, and HF).

A British aerospace engineer claims to have pinpointed the precise co-ordinates where Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 crashed and dropped to the bottom of the southern Indian Ocean, injecting new hope one of aviation's great mysteries might finally be solved. According to revolutionary aviation tracking technology used by Richard Godfrey, MH370 hit the ocean 1933km west of Perth, at 33.177°S 95.300°E, with the plane falling a depth of 4000 metres to the floor below. “The prime crash location is at the foot of the Broken Ridge in an area with difficult underwater terrain,” Godfrey's report, released today, claimed. “There are mountainous outcrops and cliffs, an underwater volcano and a canyon.”

I didn't realize this topic was already mentioned but hopefully no problems that I made another about it.

No problem. Here is a link to your new thread, which is more focused on the latest developments:

I'll go ahead and lock this older thread so we can focus on your new thread.
