THE MONOSPAR FOUND On Seringapatam Reef CREW NOW ABOARD THE MINODA DARWIN, October 9.

…157° down from the area of Howland Island, you would also have to place a limit on that eleven hundred mile vertical dimension of the pentagon by the fuel they had available.  Meaning that even Tokelau Island might have been beyond their maximum possible range.  Tuvalu Island would be outside that pentagon and since the Radio use depends on dry land, this limits your search to islands within your pentagon. Gary's estimate of bearing +/- error is no doubt a lot closer than my inital +/- 1° taken from a 1936 Report that no doubt depended upon perfect conditions.  (The example given resulted in excess of 20° error when combined with their faulty compass.) It has been my practical experience that bearings were usually within 1° and less often +/- 3° or more, but this is based on using relatively modern airborne equipment, not ancient ground based HF/DF equipment.  I will accept Gary's estimates of Bearing errors (+/- 10° from Hawaii & Wake; (+/- 21.25°) from Howland) for the conditions existing at the time even considering that as a dedicated Crashed n'Sunker he is of the opinion that NO Post-Loss Radio signals at all could be possible.…
