Italia whereabouts more than a rumor!
Reports of radio signals from the Italia are now gaining currency as the radio station at Obdorks also reports having received a wireless message from the Italia at 7.55 on the morning of 4 June. It agrees with the message picked up by the radio amateur from Voznesensk in that it specifically identifies Franz Josef Land as the place where the airship Italia descended. These reports have fuelled hopes that the crew of the Italia is still alive and well.
