What?! No EPIRB?

So, Jonathan, I'm carrying a spare fixed radio because I have

it, and
the same goes for the antennas...one is a little rail mount and

the
other is a rollup that goes right on the back of the radio. If

they
were taking up any kind of space or were in the way, I guess

I'd leave
them home. But we have more space than we know what to with.

Maybe
we'll lose our rig and the handheld will fail...I don't see a

reason
NOT to carry it any more than I see a reason not to carry a few

extra
life jackets and flares. Doesn't hurt...might help.
In the world of Katy and Scotty this is crazy behavior. Fine by

me!
