Can WSPR Radio signals help find Malaysia Airlines MH370?

4 June, 2021 - Reading time: 3 minutes

New "research" has led to a claim that says global tracking of aircraft is possible using weak radio signals that cover the globe, known as WSPR, or the "weak signal propagation report" network and that these radio signals can help find missing aircraft Malaysia Airlines MH370.

In this video I share my thoughts on this theory and why it's not possible to utilize this data to find MH370.
