Oh c'mon don't be stingy. He even posted the code. You gave
Jeff 2 points for his answer.

Did anybody mention signalling with a mirror? The orange
distress flag? I did see an answer with some reference to
orange smoke but can't remember who it was.

There is also a device intended for signaling aircraft, it's
a huge floating banner that is reflective orange with the
black square & ball symbols. I have one but IIRC it's not an
approved signalling device. Seems pretty likely to get
attention though.
