Sad, indeed. He must have had HF/SSB aboard to call the hams, maybe on 14.300 Mhz. I wonder what he was doing out there without a 406 Mhz EPIRB? The story or video made no mention of an EPIRB alarm. Red Cloud did carry a 406 EPIRB that was activated www.rescuebeacon.biz |

: If it was one without GPS it may take max 2 hours to locate it Precisely the reason those units need to be taken off the market..... Larry -- Next time some broker tells you what a great investment he's selling, ask him about Rhodium, a shiny metal used in Catalytic Converters. Jan 1st 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 Rhodium $452 $1341 $3006 $5339 $6775 PER OUNCE! How much longer can we pay for new cars at this rate? Feb '97 it was $182/oz |

In an emergency one has to use whatever is avaiable, no regulation should forbid that. Marc -- remove bye and from mercial to get valid e-mail http://www.heusser.com The model EPIRB Red Cloud carried did have integral GPS www.rescuebeacon.biz |
