The Cooper Vortex Podcast
Shutter:
I would have to say it's possible. depends on the walkie talkie and conditions. the good one I had would only work good in open area's. houses killed the signal. another friend had the same radio shack walkie talkie and we could barely hear each other a half mile away. but we were inside.
During decent, yes...
Shutter:
The cheap walkie talkies had I believe a quarter watt. I had several as a kid and could barely reach the truckers behind us when we were on vacation traveling. I held up a sign asking him to turn to channel 14. that's the only channel they had.. :rofl:

Register or LoginIf Cooper had an accomplice on the ground he could have easily established contact during canopy descent using then available CB walkie talkies. Do you concur Shutter?
Other than the LD Cooper story, I recall no other claimed use of skyjacker radio comms has been made.

But would the accomplice have to be at least close to the LZ? If not, how far outside the LZ could he be to be able to have contact?
Shutter:
The advantage is the altitude. the higher the better. this would be much better for 11 meter bands (CB radio) surrounding range. 10/20 meters (Ham) would probably work fine on the ground vs a CB radio..once on the ground it might be an issue if it's not a good CB walkie talkie but they would probably be able to communicate while coming down..

On YouTube, the Cooper Vortex E6, (Cooper Is Alive), they go on about DNA at some point. They say 3 comparisons have been done. So with all the hype around Rackstraw and Reca why not compare their DNA to eliminate them? Assuming they can be eliminated? Or is it because they just do not have enough of it? Those damn cigarettes.
As far as to whether he can still be alive, its certainly possible, assuming the top suspects list is wrong and I personally have little faith in it. But the clock is ticking and the window is close to shut, assuming the then young Mucklow and Shaffner were accurate in their guess of his age? Best case mid 80s and worst case late 90s. I would hope the money would give him motivation to take care of his health? I hope he is alive.
