Jessica Watson & Ella's Pink LadyRadio Skeds |
 |
On this page you will find details of the radio skeds for Jessica Watson's world record attempt.
I have no association with Jessica, her family, or her management - Shortwave listening is just one of my hobbies. This page is unofficial, and is only updated as time and circumstances permit. I discovered the main sked frequency after searching a lot of radio frequencies at random times. The author is located in Brisbane, Australia. CONTACT THE AUTHOR HERE: |

This page is now archived, as Jessica has returned home. No further comms had been heard since 09/12/2009.
2010-05-05 Well folks, she's almost back home! Any more contacts on HF are unlikely, but still possible. ****Those of you in VHF range of the eastern seaboard may like to monitor the VHF marine band for EPL when in range ****
2010-01-23 No comms attempts with EPL have been heard since 2009-12-09 - Please send any reports to the Author at the email address above 2009-12-08 Primary frequency is now 16534 kHz at 0730 to 0740 UTC 2009-12-08 Secondary frequency is 12353 kHz 2009-12-08
