Markeau ...

^ Would the FCC prosecute someone for using a ham rig
^ without a license if there were no other way to communicate
^ that ... "emergency" help was needed? Seems like a mobile ham
^ rig would be a nice backup in such cases.

A radio tuned to your local police department would get quicker help.

Come up on a cop freq?

That's not *all* you'll get.

You'll get the same if you came up on any frequency you aren't licensed to
