A 9... But the, er, the signal was breaking up and erm, I tried to reply, you know, to tell him, er, that I could hear him, but, er, there was just dead air Yeah, just now - two or three minutes ago just before I called you the transmission... Died Well hasn't anybody else reported it? Have you not heard anything about it? My name? Wha-wha-er, sorry - what's my name got to do with anything? Oh, come on! Come on!
