Default SAR info for boaters and pilots

2 points of information for boaters and pilots

1. The use of *CG as an emergency access to the Coast Guard is being
discontinued. Cell phone users needing CG assistance should dial 911.

2. After January 1, 2007, the use of 121.5 MHz ELT's will be ILLEGAL.
ELT's should be replaced with the 406 MHz EPIRB's
