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

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.
