Default How many monitor 121.5?

The Maydays post got me wondering. I don't monitor except during the long flights, maybe ~2 hours or longer...


I listen to 121.5 because I fly in dangerous (DC Area)
airspace. The most I've ever heard other than intercepts
going on is a lost student pilot talking to Flight Service
(they got her a squawk code and approach located her).

The one chilling MAYDAY I did here was on the Gary tower
frequency.
