When the plane went down, this distress signal was sent: “281 north Howland - call KHAQQ - beyond north -- won’t hold with us much longer -- above water -- shut off.”

In garbled Morse code, the U.S. Navy Radio in Honolulu received the following transmission on July 5, which experts believe to be a distress signal from Amelia Earhart: “281 north Howland - call KHAQQ - beyond north -- won’t hold with us much longer -- above water -- shut off.” Privately, she sent the following final message to her husband, “Please know I am quite aware of the hazards. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others.” Challenge, accepted.
