Chill, chaps.

We all get irritated by misusers of the 121.5 freq, but lost SPL/PPL's genuinely need help. Just wish they could be brief and clear when they issue a PAN and request a fix. Long transmissions are only justified if requested by ATC to enable triangulation. The lost sheep must understand the need to use the channel briefly to permit other emergency/urgency traffic access.

Also I do wish they could navigate better. It's not that difficult, surely, in VMC?
