Those calls were probably MF/HF DSC.... They skip all over the place.
EPIRBs have to be relayed by a coast station, as you obviously can't detect them from the surface.
And if the satellite was on the northbound part of its orbit (COSPASS SARSAT operates on a low altitude polar orbit), it's prettty understandable that Kinloss would be the first or second station in its path. |
