I question your location this evening
My calls remain unanswered when I dial your number.

Morning does not approach quickly at all
It is my fervent wish, however, that when it comes I will be in your company.

Well done, Saulaac :beer: - I'm having a difficult time with this round so far.

Due to the conversation yesterday, I fell asleep watching aircraft near-miss landings on YouTube last night. :eek:

A couple of years ago I went down a rabbit hole concerning the investigation of the (still) missing MH370 plane. Came across WSPR ham radio data, which is basically thousands of amateur radio enthusiasts globally who communicate with each other via radio signals. To cut a long story short, some of them claim that the radio data collected on the fateful night in 2014 could point to the location of MH370 in the Indian ocean. So far their claims appear to have been ignored by the search authorities (budgets, technology is not credible etc.) :crazy:

It's too technical for me, but I find the idea of people pinging radio waves from their homes and garden sheds, thereby creating a huge global grid of information, absolutely fascinating. The fact that a commercial airliner has been lost (with families not knowing what happened to their loved ones) is quite scary to say the least.
Aerospace engineer Richard Godfrey has written a few papers on it, and his blog has some forum discussion from the scientific community: www.mh370search.com.

And last but not least, with a high inter-sonar confidence level, I propose that Song 1 is "Don't Give Up" - Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush :yeah:

"We attained manhood with fortitude in this country of which I am not ashamed / In this proud land we grew up strong"

Cool story Saulaac and yes, you are indeed correct. Another one down!

The Godfrey blog looks really intensive and interesting, Saulaac - thank you for the link. Difficult to fathom why the input of all those ham radio operators would be disregarded - and incredibly sad for those who perished and their families. :(

All I am is weary, tedious and jaded of my own company
I say dear, some assistance would be very welcome.

Feeling hopeless about Song 5 so far. :confused:
Maybe Saulaac will airdrop some humanitarian aid on this one.

Trollheart 02-13-2023 11:52 AM

I feel that one will be hard to get. It is well known, but at the same time it's possible you ain't heard it. I can airdrop clues if you want.

How did you get the little aeroplane? That's cute.
