Or is that off the northern coast of Alaska? We'll claim it for Canada
anyway.

I don't mind the ice and cold, its the fact that I have to ask
permission to go out side in the winter that bugs me.

and what makes you thnk he is "My Buddy"....... I just happen to
have worked with him, 35 years ago, at Northern Radio Co. He
was more than compitant then, and still compitant now, well as long as
you take into account that he may be having "Senior Moments" these days.


as for your spelling..... quote from above...."knowing trhat your"

Just what word is that in the middle there? Does "thrat" count?

Probably about as much as a competent speller would think... absent any
"senior moments"

I'll trade three" trhats" to two of your (and strangely enough ME's)
"compitants"

You two must really get along well together when you meet?

I don't claim to be any sort of expert, but on the radio course I took, we
learned that 2182 kHz is "the international distress, safety and calling
frequency for radiotelephony". As far as I can see that is well below 4MHz,
and commonly used even outside Alaska.

Actually you will find that in the USA, 2182 Khz is not used along our
Coasts for the simple reason that it's daytime coverage (Groundwave)
is easily covered by Remote Base VHF Highsite Radio Systems. This is
different then most of the European Countires as they tend to have
significantly less coastline to monitor, and usally it can be done with
just one or two stations in any country. All High Seas Distress Radio
Systems are now based on the IMO GMDSS Convention, which feature
multiple Maritime Radio Frequencies in the HF Band. In the USA 2182.0
Khz isn't even monitored on a regular basis by human ears. For the
North Pacific, 4125.0 Khz is moniotred by human ears, from Kodiak,
Hawii, and Comox BC on a 24/7 basis.

and reality.....
