The bottom line is it's worth trying there is often people listening on 121.5. Including lots of airlines whether it is their company SOP or not. Darryl A couple of years ago, wife and I came across a body in the Black Rock desert of Nevada while flying low in the Husky - - thought he was for sure dead. After landing and determining he was still alive, we called on 121.5 for medical assistance. Airliner overhead answered up immediately. In fact, there were at least a couple of other aircraft answering at the same time (including another Husky up by the NV / OR border) - - they were stepping on each other answering up! Airliner relayed to Reno Approach for us, as we were 100 nm north of there with no cell coverage and no chance of getting other ground stations on the radio from our position. Guy survived, btw, though I don't think he'd have lasted though the day in that heat if he hadn't been found. bumper zz Minden |
