She had to be close\, but after an unprecedented search by the US Navy\, not a single tr ace of the aircraft was ever found. What happened to Amelia Earhart is one of the last great unsolved mysteries of the 20th century.This presentatio n will cover how Rockwell Collins engineers utilized an HF Systems enginee ring approach to arrive at a distance from Earhart’s L10E to Howland Isl and for each of her HF transmissions.\n\n\nNote: Due to our NDA’s with N auticos Corporation\, no final results will be shown.\n\n\nBiography for T om Vinson\n\nTom Vinson retired from Rockwell Collins\, Cedar Rapids\, IA after 33 years in engineering and Program Management. During this time he was responsible for program management of Rockwell Collins’ ARC-190 High Frequency Communications\, USAF MILSTAR Satellite System components\, and Advanced Network Datalinks.\n\n\nHe provided another 2 years of professio nal consulting to Rockwell Collins until he and his wife\, Karen\, moved t o Chatfield Minnesota in 2010.\n\n\nHe is on the Board of Directors of the Chosen Valley Community Foundation\, as well as SeaWord\, Nauticos Corpor ation’s non-profit educational foundation.\n\n\nIn 1999 Tom formed a tea m from the Collins Amateur Radio Club members to look at the Amelia Earhar t disappearance from an engineering perspective. Under the auspices of Nau ticos’ SeaWord STEM initiatives\, Rockwell Collins supported Tom in both the 2002 and 2006 deep water SONAR searches for Nauticos’ Earhart Disco very Project. They also supported the STEM education for the 2017 expediti on. Since those expeditions Tom has provided dozens of Earhart Search STEM presentations to local schools\, civic and professional organizations\, a nd various amateur radio clubs.Tom is still active in his 54th year in ama teur radio and enjoys the outdoors through running\, biking\, hiking\, kay aking\, XC skiing and fishing.\n\n UID:040000008200E00074C5B7101A82E00800000000DD2A912CBBC8D601000000000000000 01000000040F586ECDB7F194996E2DCB3CDA3D0C6 SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-US:BVARC Meeting - DTSTART;TZID=Central Standard Time:20201210T190000 DTEND;TZID=Central Standard Time:20201210T203000 CLASS:PUBLIC PRIORITY:5 DTSTAMP:20201202T145528Z TRANSP:OPAQUE STATUS:CONFIRMED SEQUENCE:0 LOCATION;LANGUAGE=en-US:https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82088233228?pwd=UU9OVk81d nFTdERyQVFHc3p2WGVYZz09 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-APPT-SEQUENCE:0 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-OWNERAPPTID:2118916061 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-BUSYSTATUS:TENTATIVE X-MICROSOFT-CDO-INTENDEDSTATUS:BUSY X-MICROSOFT-CDO-ALLDAYEVENT:FALSE X-MICROSOFT-CDO-IMPORTANCE:1 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-INSTTYPE:0 X-MICROSOFT-DONOTFORWARDMEETING:FALSE X-MICROSOFT-DISALLOW-COUNTER:FALSE X-MICROSOFT-LOCATIONDISPLAYNAME:https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82088233228?pwd=U U9OVk81dnFTdERyQVFHc3p2WGVYZz09 X-MICROSOFT-LOCATIONSOURCE:None X-MICROSOFT-LOCATIONS:[{"DisplayName":"https://us02web.zoom.us/j/8208823322 8?pwd=UU9OVk81dnFTdERyQVFHc3p2WGVYZz09"\,"LocationAnnotation":""\,"Locatio nUri":""\,"LocationStreet":""\,"LocationCity":""\,"LocationState":""\,"Loc ationCountry":""\,"LocationPostalCode":""\,"LocationFullAddress":""}] BEGIN:VALARM DESCRIPTION:REMINDER TRIGGER;RELATED=START:-PT15M ACTION:DISPLAY END:VALARM END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
