Revision as of 03:21, 30 April 2011

These are the last words received from Earhart and Noonan between 2013 GMT and 2025 GMT; the Carey diary says that Earhart was "still on air" at 2030 GMT.

This is a photostat of the entry in the "rough log" preserved by Leo G. Bellarts.

The crucial information here is: "We are on the line 157 337. Will repeat the message. We will repeat this on 6210 kcs. Wait. We are running [on] line [north and south]."

Earhart indicates here that she is switching from her nighttime frequency (3105 kcs) to her daytime frequency (6210 kcs). No further messages were received from the aircraft.

The most probable explanation of why Earhart and Noonan were flying on the compass headings of 157 degrees and 337 degrees is that Noonan had calculated a line of position at sunrise.

Earhart's Tone of Voice

Ric Gillespie, AESF, 4 February 2000.
We do not have a copy of the tape, just the transcript. This is what Bellarts told Long in 1973 about the way Earhart sounded:
"Ah, actually her voice...we could here her voice just as easy as I'm hearing yours right now and I'm deaf in one ear now. But I'll tell you, you could hear her voice all over the shack and even outside the shack. you know, real loud and clear. I mean it. She was a woman. We heard her quite a few times, you know, but that last one, I'm telling you, it sounded as if she would have broken out in a scream, it would have sounded normal. She was just about ready to break into tears and go into hysterics. That's exactly the way I'd describe her voice now. I'll never forget it."
