I have been requested by the Ghost of Gardner to post a link to a recent article on his blog that discusses a reanalysis of the radio propagation donut modelling that accounts for the signal strength of AE's transmission heard on the Itasca

This blog entry refers extensively to an earlier YouTube video from Tom Vinson who worked with Nauticos

I have only had time to scan it so far and am interested in opinions from more knowledgable people on here.

Matt,
Thank you for posting links to John Kada's interesting paper related to Earhart's last radio signals while still in flight.   The discussion of the TIGHAR/Bob's Donut Hole hypothesis versus the Rockwell-Collins/Nauticos investigation is thought provoking.  This link provides information on Nauticos' future expedition.

Matt (and Kenton),

Thanks for posting this.  The Ghost has done a lot of AE research, always does a great job, and has produced another impressive article. He posted here back in the days when there was still serious debate on the Forum, but he didn't survive the many purges (or become a paid member). 

I had corresponded with the Ghost a couple of years ago about Vinson's videos, but I didn't have the patience to sit through them and really absorb them. Nor did I fully understand the Chuck and Bob exchanges.  The Ghost has kindly reduced those videos to writing, explained Chuck and Bob's exchanges, and now everything makes sense.

Shout out to Chuck Varney too, just in case he ever checks in here. 
I want to believe.
