Another Reason To Carry A Handheld VHF Radio?
I watched a video last night on YouTube [ since I'm new, I can't post the URL -- in [i]YouTube, just search for In The hangar Dan Bass CO2 Crash ] recounting an experience Dan Bass had with CO2 poisoning... Near the end of the interview, I thought it noteworthy he mentioned a VHF Radio as one item he wishes he could have accessed in the aftermath of his crash [he apparently had one onboard, but in the crash, things in the cabin were tossed about quite a bit and he couldn't locate it.]. While trying to alert authorities of his survival and location, he discovered his cell phone didn't work and that created some unfortunate delays in his rescue. Dan said that having a radio would've enabled him to contact 121.5, and in doing that, he believed he would have saved some time in getting to a hospital. Food for thought, I suppose...
