And another bunch of hams showing off by using their ham radios and
communication skills to help someone in distress, and someone even had
the audacity to report it. Lennyboy must really be ashamed of these hams.

Yep, terrible. Not only that, no one thought to use CB either - or MURS,
FRS, or whatever else is the popular thing of the day

WHAT...!??!

There were no CELL TOWERS nearby to relay thier "emergency comms"...?!?!

Holy Smokes! HOW will we EVER get out of the 21st Century alive if there
are NO CELL TOWERS at SEA...?!?!

Sheeesh...!

Don't worry, Steve!

Soon we'll all have BPL and our emergency comms will have finally arrived in
the 21st century )

(ps - 5 watts? I wonder how well that would have worked if BPL had been
active on the mainland where the reception was carried out?)
