   (I've footnoted some material that's obvious   
   to people in rec.radio.shortwave as I'm sending   
   this a few other places.  Thanks)   
           =======   
   Earlier this year I caught a story that some folk   
   believed they could use "WSPR" (geeky radio stuff [a])   
   analysis to localize the flight path of the disappeared   
   Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 [b] which went missing   
   back in March, 2014.   
      
   The other attempts at finding it, including using   
   the doppler radio shifts in its satelline pinging,   
   were unsuccesful.   
      
   Anyway, back in March, 2024, the boffins at the University   
   of Liverpoool "stated they would release their results   
   withing six months". [c]   
      
   Now obviously, predictions are hard, especially about   
   the future, but I looked around and couldn't find   
   any misc updates.   
      
   Anyone run into any?  Thanks   
      
   [a] Airplanes are Big Pieces of Metal and do all   
   sorts of things to radio waves near them.  Dannyb recalls   
   way back how the tv screen would do all sorts of weird   
   things whenever a plane was within a mile or so.   
      
   WSPR stands for Weak Signal Propagation Reporter, and   
   it turns out there's a loose worldwide network of   
   folk who monitor this stuff
