Mysterious signals did not come from missing submarine

WIA News report that satellite signals heard over the weekend did
notcome from the missing Argentine Navy submarine San Juan that went
missing November 15, dashing hopes that the vessel could be located.

The submarine had reported a malfunction, had surfaced, and was headed
back to its base when the Navy lost contact with it. The sub carries a
crew of 44.

A Naval commander told media that the submarine had surfaced and
reported“an electrical problem” before it disappeared some 270 miles
off the South American coast.

Over the weekend, Argentina’s Defence Ministry had reported receiving
seven“failed satellite calls” that officials thought might be coming
from the missing submarine. No contact was made, and no transmissions
occurred.

Over last weekend, IARU Region 2 News Editor Joaquín Solana, XE1R,
issued a list of marine frequencies, suggesting that radio amateurs
and SWLs listen for any signals that could be related to the missing
San Juan.

Frequencies are
2,065.0 kHz; 2,182.0 kHz; 3,023.0 kHz; 3,860.6 kHz;
4,125.0 kHz; 4,143.6 kHz; 6,218.6 kHz, 8,528.0 kHz on HF,
as well as 42.395 MHz, 43.040 MHz, and 84.470 MHz.

The MF emergency frequencies of 416 kHz, 437 kHz, and 500 kHz also
were suggested.
