Red Cloud did carry a 406 EPIRB that was activated

If it was one without GPS it may take max 2 hours to locate it (via
SARSAT, since GEOSAR does not help locatin) - so maybe this was the
reason for additionally calling via ham, and that this ermergency call
arrived first.

In an emergency one has to use whatever is avaiable, no regulation
should forbid that.
