Yes indeed, and 2182 is generally NOT available with most aircraft HF sets. Sad to say that little help can be had from ships....communication wise.........UNLESS you are familiar with ham (for the Brits...amateur) radio. Many on ships are amateur radio operators and regularilly monitor the ham bands. Have talked half way 'round the world with ships from FL330, over the Indian Ocean.
