Geocache Description:


A week ago a TB Air Lift C-130 crashed trying to land at a local runway. The story is that it was foggy and they tryed to make an emergency landing. The pilot could not see the runway so he tryed to land useing his GPSR. but the cords were off. now they have crashed and all they have to call for help is with morse code.

This is a two-stage geocache. At the coordinates given above you will receive the coordinates for the cache via your car radio!

There is a small parking lot at the above coordinates where you can stop and tune your car radio to 88.7 MHz FM. You will hear a series of beeps, short or long in duration, that represent numbers in Morse code. For example, one short beep followed by four longer beeps is a number “1”. Three long beeps followed by two short beeps is a number “8”, etc.
1 = . _ _ _ _
2 = . . _ _ _
3 = . . . _ _
4 = . . . . _
5 = . . . . .
6 = _ . . . .
7 = _ _ . . .
8 = _ _ _ . .
9 = _ _ _ _ .
0 = _ _ _ _ _
s = . . .
o = _ _ _
SOS SOS and Fourteen numbers are transmitted. Decode the fourteen numbers to reveal the cache coordinates in the usual format:
SOS SOS 32 XX.XXX 99 XX.XXX
Note that the numbers representing the degrees are transmitted, but the decimal points are not. After the fourteen numbers are sent, there is a longer pause and the transmission begins over again.

Drive to a safe parking spot near the new coordinates and continue your search on foot.
