CONSOLAN. Not of much use to Cooper. I used CONSOLAN. It required a fairly sensitive receiver that could tune BELOW the AM broadcast band. Such radios in a portable format were rather uncommon in the US but did exist. Easy to use, but you needed a map to make sense of the info. By 71 CONSOLAN was very obsolete. There was only one West coast station which I seem to recall was located at Hamilton AFB in Marin County lesst than 20 miles from SF. We couldn’t reliably receive the only other US station which was located at Nantucket MA. So we never got “fixes” just a bearing on the SF Bay Area station. Without a cross bearing (normally impossible because you couldn’t hear a second station) you don’t know your position. I never heard any of the European stations. There were several in Norway.
OMEGA. Used this too. Big receivers. Not portable in 71. Needed OMEGA maps that showed “lanes”. Not practical for Cooper to have used for spotting a jump.
TRANSIT. A USN SATNAV system that preceded GPS. It used non geostationary sats that passed several times a day. The receivers were too big to carry by hand. You only got fixes every few hours when a sat passed within reception range. It never provided constant position info the way GPS does. Totally impracticalfor spotting a jump.

Well the rest of the story is FLYJACK/BULLJAX wont post the full document his snippet comes from! He says that's my responsibility! So we cant see the context in which this supposed FBI doc snippet comes from, etc. Evidently this is Shutter's NEW TRUMP rules for doing Cooper research. Just claim it and to hell with everything else!
It's strange that nobody ever found or posted this document mentioning a radio before if its real.
All FLYJACK/BULLJAX will say is: FUCK YOUS!
One hint BULLJAX gave was it was on Geoff Gray's website. The world must have missed it! ? Who knows maybe its real maybe it isnt. Should anyone care? But FLYJACK/BULLJAX'S tactics are real enough! Wish Snowmman or Farflung were here to respond!
Was the radio for Cooper or for the crew? FLYJACKS/BULLJAX wont say if he knows.
