Sound off - that was a mear clearing of the throat.
There are insects that use 121.5 for piss anting around and thats deplorable. Accidently tx on guard is an occupational hazard.
However we need to monitor guard all the time, inc the north atlantic and other remote regions. Practise Pans, etc are clutter and no longer necessary on 121.5 make it 121.4 or whatever.
PS I fly DA40 for GA fun - have gps.
121.5 is for URGENT messages for all flying craft!
