Earhart's last recorded radio transmissions in 1937
A radio log captured by the US Coast Guard vessel Itasca — which was waiting for Amelia Earhart off Howland Island in the Pacific with fuel — shows the final communications from her aircraft in July 1937. Earhart and the Itasca never made two-way voice contact and it’s possible Earhart never heard any of the Itasca’s transmissions.
At 2:45 a.m. on July 2, radio operators on the Itasca begin to receive Earhart’s intermittent voice messages.
At 6:15 a.m. Earhart’s plane reported its position as 200 miles away from Howland Island.
At 7:42 a.m. Earhart indicates that she believes she is close to Howland Island but running low on fuel. Her aircraft call sign is KHAQQ.
Just before 8:00 a.m. the Itasca received Earhart’s strongest radio voice signal, indicating she was close to the Itasca.
At 8:43 a.m. the Itasca received the final message from Earhart’s plane, still with good reception.
