Today while on flight following, I heard center and an airline pilot discussing a minor emergency going on at a class C that was just off my route. Being curious, I turned on the audio of my second radio on 121.5. When I did, I heard what I'm pretty sure was an ELT beacon. The signal faded after a couple of minutes. I was about 30nm from the class C. Not knowing the protocol, I called center and reported it. The response I got was a lukewarm "thanks".
So what is the protocol for reporting ELTs? Still a noob...
Thanks!
